Gaian Spirit Rules

Gaian Spirits are the essences of things within our world. These things can be objects (trees, animals, etc…) or ideas (law, truth, etc…) - by nature, spirits do not change on their own, as they are idealized things. Spirits exist in the world in a few strength levels. Engling (not self aware), Lesser Gaffling (barely self aware), Greater Gaffling (slightly self aware), Lesser Jaggling (players start here), Greater Jaggling, Lesser Incarna, Incarna, Greater Incarna, Celestine

Advantages to playing a Gaian Spirit:

• Can gain Energy from Gnosis Nodes
• Totem Mechanics
• Immunity to Diseases and Poisons
• Shared Energy type with Shifters
• Particularly difficult to kill
• Native Realm: Umbra

Disadvantages to playing a Gaian Spirit:

• Generally Umbra-bound, does not come with Gauntlet Sight
• Must signify spirit types at all times through costuming
• Totem ban mechanics
• Charms are much more limited because spirits do not generally evolve new abilities
• Can be turned into Items
• Gauntlet Sight not included. Requires merit.
• No Mortal Healing
• No access to Rituals, Talens, Talismans, or Fetishes

Building a Gaian Spirit

To create a Gaian Spirit, start with the Universal Character Creation rules and then

• Fill in 10 dots for Gnosis (Energy).
• Choose an Aspect (Wyld, Weaver, Wyrm, General) treeset to take as Innate
• Choose a Primary Role (Aggressor, Defender, Regenerator, Restorer, Perceiver, Manipulator) to take as Innate
• Choose one additional Role to take as Innate
• Choose 2 individual Role trees that are not in the same treeset or one of your Innate treesets, you may never take these trees.
• Spend 12 points on Charms (Spirit Powers).
• You receive no Background points.
• You may take up to 10 points in flaws. You may take flaws above this value, however you will only receive points for the first 10. (Mortal Rules or special GS Merits/Flaws below)
• Place 20 points (freebies) anywhere you want on your sheet, including Techniques. Please note that you can spend these points WHILE spending the rest of your character points.

You do not need to purchase your Charms in tree order, however you do need to purchase Charms in treeset order. Within your Innate treesets, you may purchase one Charm at each level as Innate and the other at Non-Innate costs without needing a teacher. Additional Trees require teachers at each level.

Built-In Powers

Gaian Spirits come with built-in powers.

• Teach GiftTeach GiftTeach Gift: You may teach the described power as a Gift to a Shifter character at the appropriate level for that character to learn it (not necessarily at the level you learned it at), No Cost, Shape Shifters, see gift list information in Charm treesets.
• Sense SupernaturalSense SupernaturalSense Supernatural: Mental, Instant, Sensory. If a type is not specified on the power descriptor line then you may use the sig call: “Sense Supernatural: Are you a supernatural creature?” - you may not ask the type. If a type is specified, you may ask “Sense Supernatural: Are you a [type]?” - the target must respond truthfully. A supernatural creature is any character not written on a Mortal character sheet. If "any" is listed in the power description, or if multiple supernatural types are listed, you must choose one type each time you use the power.: Gaian Spirit, No Cost, Other
• Sense PoolSense PoolSense Pool: Mental, Instant, Sensory. Use sig call: "Sense:" followed by the name of the pool, as described on the power descriptor line, the target should reply with their current Pool level or “Resist”, or "No Effect" if they don't have that pool.: Gnosis, No Cost, Other
• AbsorptionAbsorptionAbsorption: When struck for damage you may choose to take that damage to your Energy pool instead of your Health pool if you have at least as much Energy as damage taken. Use the "Filtered" call with this power., varies, Self, Only in Umbra
• Energy to HealthEnergy to HealthEnergy to Health: While conscious the character may spend any amount of energy to regain the same amount of health. While out of combat you may use this power with no cooldown., varies, Self

After 10 minutes in the Dying state you may spend 1 Gnosis to regain 1 Health.

Spirit Pools

Gnosis - Gnosis is your primary Energy pool - use it to activate the majority of your Powers.

No access to Rituals, Talens, Talismans, Fetishes

You may not use any of these items even if you can use that item’s energy type, with the exception of Energy Talens.

Regenerating Gnosis

• Nodes: You may regenerate at any Node that provides the Gnosis Energy Type at the fastest rate listed on the card.
• Shifters: Shifters may freely “give gnosis” to Gaian Spirits. You may also freely “give gnosis” to Shifters. To give to a Shifter use the call “Giving Gnosis [amount]”. Giving Gnosis can be resisted freely. If you are tainted, follow the call with “Take 1 [taint type] Taint”. Gaian Spirits may freely trade Gnosis with each other as well.
• Devouring Spirits: If you are responsible for reducing another Gaian Spirit to 0 health, you may devour it. To do so, make a “Devouring Spirit” call (60 count). Upon completion, the other spirit is destroyed and you absorb its essence, instantly gaining 10 Gnosis.

Costume Requirements

As a Gaian Spirit you are required to signify your spirit type at all times. Often this is done through masks, but can be done through other clothing or makeup just as easily. A tree spirit may wear a green leafy shirt/coat and knotty brown pants. An animal spirit may simply wear prosthetics to represent the animal they are derived from. A stone spirit may wear bulky gray clothing. Your imagination should play heavily in what you decide represents your spirit, but it must be clearly represented.

Becoming Items

Spirits can be bound into Fetish and Talisman items. In order for this to happen, they must be in the Dying state and the person who wishes to turn them into an Item must have a Ritual that allows them to do this. Alternatively, the spirit may voluntarily enter an item. This cannot be done to a PC Spirit for their first 6 games. After that, you’re free game.

Killing Spirits

Spirits are particularly difficult to destroy - you can’t just reduce them to 0 health and leave them lying around. They’ll stand back up eventually. If a spirit is reduced to 0 health and isn’t saved before the 10 minute Dying state timer, then the spirit dissipates. The player should immediately go OOG. At sunrise the next day they may return. If this happens 3 times in one season then they are killed permanently. You can also effectively kill a spirit by binding it to an item, as above in becoming items.

Eating

While Spirits may not have to eat, Spirit players do. Because of this, you may pick up items like plates of food, glasses of drink, etc… if you intend to ingest it yourself, for no cost.

No Mortal Healing

While in the Umbra you are a creature made entirely of energy. You cannot be healed by medicine.

Spirit Bans

When creating your character, create a spirit ban that is appropriate to your spirit’s conceptual origin. A mineral spirit may insist that its allies be unmoved by emotion, or that they never run. A tree spirit may require its allies drink only water, or that they spend a certain amount of time in the sun every day. A prey animal spirit may require that its allies not eat meat, or that they are careful not to frighten people. A predatory animal spirit might insist its allies give chase regardless the cost, or that they have meat with every meal. The ban is fairly open, however, you’ll need to okay it with CGs. If you become someone’s Patron and they break your Ban then you must confront them - if they do not make up for this action in some serious way (such as eating ONLY meat at their next meal) then you must break your bond with them immediately. Spirit Bans must impact the gameplay for your followers in some way at game.

Spirit Bonds

Various groups will have rituals that allow them to bond to a spirit - this spirit becomes their Patron (Shifters usually refer to this as a “Totem”). The Spirit must be willing to join the individual or group for this bond to take place. All members of the group who wish to be joined to the Spirit must be present for the ritual. If any are absent, they will need to have a later ritual performed to bring them into the fold. Once a Spirit is bound to an individual or group, they receive an additional group of powers referred to as “Totem Powers”.

Totem and Familiar Powers

Totem Powers don’t have levels, but they do have costs. Any character with a Totem can purchase Totem as a Background at Background costs. The same is true for any character with a Spirit Familiar. They can choose to give your Spirit a power with the amount of Totem points they have put into it. Check-in should add these powers to the Totem section of your character sheet. Totem Powers may only be used if you have first seen the character associated with them at game during that event. Because of this, Totem Powers may be purchased more than once if purchased by multiple members of the same group. If a member of your pack leaves the pack (or is kicked out) the powers they granted are removed from your sheet.

Learning Charms

You may learn charms outside of your Innate Charms with a teacher for each level. The teacher must teach you abilities they know, and you must proceed up the treeset.

Teaching Gifts

When working with Shifters, you may teach certain powers (see your Charm trees for more information) to them. Use the normal teaching rules to do so. The character will learn the most appropriate version of that power for their character.

Gaian Spirit Powers: Charms

Aspects

Gaian Spirits belong to a single Aspect. Wyld, Weaver, Wyrm, or General. Aspected spirits get access to at least one additional tree compared to a General spirit, as their Aspect lends them strengths. For each Aspect Tree you take aside from General, gain 1 permanent taint of that type. This taint is only active as long as you have access to that tree. You may not take powers from Aspects other than your own Aspect. If you change Aspects during gameplay, your original Aspect trees go dormant (you cannot use those powers until and unless you return to your original Aspect). Choose one Aspect from: Wyld, Weaver, Wyrm, or General.

Roles

Spirits also have roles associated with them. In our system there are 6 of these. These roles are: Aggressor <=> Defender, Regenerator <=> Restorer, Perceiver <=> Manipulator.
