The Fera is a collective noun for the shifters who are not part of Garou society. We didn’t tie these together with the Garou because their social structures are vastly different. To be fair, they’re different from each other as well, but they do have one thing in common - the attempted genocide of their peoples at the hands of the Garou. For the most part, the animosity between Fera and Garou continues today.. You may still see Fera and Werewolves lumped in together in certain rituals as “Shifters”

Advantages to playing the Fera:

Built-in Beast Form
Generally more combat plot
Built-in passive health regeneration
Free-form Power purchasing
Secondary Energy Pool (all except Nuwisha)
Native Realm: Both, fall to the side you are currently on.

Disadvantages to playing the Fera:

Silver causes Aggravated Damage to the Bastet, Ratkin, Gurahl, Nuwisha
Gold causes Aggravated Damage to the Corax
Carrying Silver reduces Primary Energy Pool in Bastet, Ratkin, Gurahl, Nuwisha
Carrying Gold reduces Primary Energy Pool in Corax
All levels of non-innate Gifts require a teacher
Upward progression limited by Rank and Renown
May not take the Static Nature merit if you have Rage
Ability required for Ritual Access

ToxicityToxicityToxicity: Your blood is dangerous to drink. When someone feeds from you, lose a point of blood (or health if you have no blood) as normal, but respond to the feeding with “Resist, 1 irresistible damage” - the individual feeding will not gain any blood and will instead take 1 damage.

At the end of the 60 second duration, if you are still at 0 health, you fall unconscious and enter the dying state., 1 Rage, Self, 60 seconds

Fera Pools

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

Rage - Rage is a secondary Energy pool - it cannot be used to activate most powers, but it does come with benefits. You can never have a rage pool above 10. Rage regenerates automatically every night at Sundown. (Not available to Nuwisha). If you have a Rage pool and a vampire feeds from you, notify them that you have a rage pool, you feed at double rate, and they should frenzy when they finish.

Ritual Access: All Fera who have the Gnosis energy type may use Gnosis-fueled Fetishes. All Fera who have the Rage energy type may use Rage-fueled Fetishes.; Ability: Shifter Rites - While most other types of Supernatural can use Rituals without purchasing a special ability, the Fera must purchase the Shifter Rites Ability to use Rituals. You must also purchase the Rituals Background to determine what level of Rituals you can use.

Regenerating Gnosis

Gnosis Nodes: All Ratkin and Corax, as well as the Bastet Tribes Bagheera, Bubasti, and Khan regenerate Gnosis at the City or Fera rate described on the Node Card. Gurahl and the Bastet tribes Pumonca, Qualmi, Simba, and Swara regenerate Gnosis at the Wilds or Fera rate described on the Node Card. Nuwisha regenerate Gnosis at the fastest rate listed on the Node Card.
Spirits: Fera can freely trade Gnosis with Gaian Spirits. Hunting a special type of spirit (called a Prey Spirit) will refill your Gnosis Pool if you are present when the spirit is captured and killed. To give to a Gaian Spirit use the call “Giving Gnosis [amount]”. You may not use this power to give Gnosis to other shape shifters. Giving Gnosis can be resisted freely. If you are tainted, follow the call with “Take 1 [taint type] Taint”

Regenerating Rage

No more than once an hour going from Out of Combat to In Combat will allow you to gain up to 1 Rage. If your Rage pool is full it has no effect.
Once a night, when you first see the moon in the sky, regenerate your Rage pool to full. If the moon cannot be found - either because of a new moon or because it is not high enough in the sky due to the site - find a location which provides a large unobstructed area of sky and spend 10 seconds staring up into the night sky.
Once each day when you are first reduced to less than ½ your rage pool gain 1 Rage.

Losing the Beast (Bastet, Corax, Gurahl, Ratkin)

Upon reaching both 0 Willpower and 0 Rage, the Fera lose access to any Form powers they normally have access to. They cannot shape shift again until they have recovered at least 1 of each of those pools.

Umbra Access

Please pay special attention to the Built In Powers list above. Traverse Gauntlet is only freely available to the Nuwisha, Ratkin, and Corax Fera Types. The Gurahl require a Level 1 Ritual to enter the Umbra. Bastet receive Umbra access either via the Rank 3 Den Realm Ritual, or the Rank 4 Gift, except for Swara who gain access at Rank 2.

Gurahl Tribal Weaknesses

Forest Walkers: If a story is being told, you have to hear it - even if you were in the middle of something. If someone else pulls you from that story you may go, otherwise you remain glued to the storyteller until the story is done. You may expend 1 willpower to ignore this weakness.

Ice Stalkers: You are overly curious. If a puzzle or other enigma catches your attention, don’t put it down unless pulled away by someone else. You may expend 1 willpower to ignore this weakness.

Mountain Guardians: You may not refuse a direct challenge. If you do, lose access to your Willpower for 6 hours.

River Keepers: You may never strike first. You can choose to expend 1 willpower to ignore this weakness.

Rank and Renown

Renown is gained through the things you do at game. Tell NPC Gaian Spirits about your awesomeness. For the Fera this happens more fluidly than for Garou. Any Fera may tell their own stories. Once you’ve reached certain Renown levels, you will be able to partake in a Challenge, followed by a Rite, and then increase in Rank. You may not gain more than one Renown per game on average. If you have not gained Renown in 3 games, you may gain 3 Renown at once.

To gain Renown, locate or summon an NPC Renown Spirit (with the Rite of Summoning). Convince it to listen to your story via the Rite of Renown - if you do not have this Ritual, you may ask another character to perform it for you. If your story is good enough (enough elements) they may reward one of the three Renown types to your character. If it needs some shoring up, the Spirit may assign a task or quest to complete to get the last of that Renown. Upon completion the storytellers will provide a small green tag to affix to a decorative costume piece. If you do not have a decorative costume piece to affix it to, you may ask the Storytellers for a small prop, which they will provide.

Once you achieve enough Renown to gain Rank you must challenge another of your Fera type at or above your desired rank (NPCs are fine and may be necessary). They get to set the conditions of the challenge and you are expected to achieve the goal. Upon completion, perform (or have performed for you) the Rite of Accomplishment, which will send you to ST camp to update your character sheet for your new Rank. The amount of Renown required to gain Rank as well as the types of Renown available available are as follows:

Fera	Rank 1	Rank 2	Rank 3	Rank 4	Rank 5
Bastet (Cunning, Ferocity, Honor)	3	10	15	20	25
Corax (Glory, Honor, Wisdom)	3 Wisdom	6 Wisdom	8 Wisdom + 3	10 Wisdom + 6	10 Wisdom + 12
Gurahl (Cleverness, Ferocity, Honor)	4	8	14	22	32
Nuwisha (Cunning, Glory, Humor)	3	7	13	19	25
Ratkin (Infamy, Obligation, Cunning)	3	7	15	23	30

Learning Gifts

Teaching a Gift to another member of the Fera is acceptable. Teaching gifts to a Werewolf is likely to result in Renown loss for both the Fera and the Werewolf.

Learning Non-Innate Gifts

When learning Non-Innate gifts: Learning from another of your Fera Type (Gurahl from Gurahl, Bastet from Bastet) you may learn a Gift at the higher of either the Innate or Non-Innate level. Learning from a different Fera type, you may learn that Gift at the highest available level among all Fera. Learning from a Garou you may learn that Gift at the highest available among all Garou+Fera. When a Spirit teaches a gift, they teach it at the appropriate level for your character.

Frenzy (Bastet, Corax, Gurahl, Ratkin)

The Fera have one type of Frenzy: Rage.

Rage Frenzies are generally caused by the Enrage power but can come from other sources. When a character enters a Rage Frenzy they gain an instant level of Augment and become immune to Mentals except for Quell Beast. While in this state you cannot use active resists, Mentals, or Status powers, but can use any other powers on your character sheet. While in Frenzy you may not choose the targets of your wrath, you simply attack your nearest possible target. If you do not have a weapon or brawl boffers you may instead choose to behave like an aggressive beast. Upon entering Frenzy it is recommended that if you have a form power you enter it. You may enter any Form you have once for no additional cost when entering Frenzy. This effect lasts 60 seconds.

Vulnerability: Silver

Using a silver melee weapon or silver ammunition to hit a Bastet, Gurahl, Nuwisha, or Ratkin causes aggravated damage.

Vulnerability: Gold

Using a gold melee weapon or gold ammunition to hit a Corax causes aggravated damage.

Silver (or gold) and Gnosis

Carrying 1 silver (replace silver with gold for Corax) object reduces the Shifter’s Maximum Gnosis by 1. For this purpose, 3 silvered pieces of ammo count as 1 item, or any 1 regular silver item, including Klaives. This effect is only active as long as you have the item on you. If your Gnosis was at maximum prior to picking up the silver items, putting the item down restores your maximum Gnosis, but does not restore the Gnosis you lost due to lowered maximum (you will be down 1 Gnosis for each item).

Being Fed From

If a Vampire character feeds from you and you have a Rage pool, notify them that you feed at double rate and cause Frenzy.

Fera Powers: Gifts

All Fera trees that share a name are considered part of a treeset, even if there is only one tree.

Rank 1) ElementElement: Physical. Throw a packet with the sig call: “[name of element] [amount of damage]” (Example: Fire 3). If the element is not defined, you may use any of the 4 Western elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) or the five Eastern elements (Fire, Earth, Water, Wood, Metal) - you must choose which elemental system you intend to use before ever using this ability and should not switch between them.

Rank 2) VisageVisage: After a 10 count, you may alter your outward appearance; equip or remove any mask or prosthetic including mantles that represents another power. You may wear any other mask or prosthetic that you wish; if you equip an item you do not get the benefits of that power. You may remove any mask, mantle, or prosthetic that you wish; if you remove an item that is a requirement for a power, pause any timers and suppress all effects of the associated power. The power returns at its original timers when you release Visage, requiring you to restore any props required. You may also remove any costuming requirements while this is in effect. Using this power *only* to remove costume requirements has no cost. If this effect was used on you, you may cancel it after its minimum duration., 1 Gnosis, Self/Other, 10 minutes+

Bastet Tribe - What type of cat you are.

Bagheera - Mechanical Yava (secret flaw): The Abhaya hand gesture performed on someone the Bagheera is attacking or about to attack will cause the Bagheera to flee as if effected by the Terror power. Additionally, they must follow any obvious trail, but need not follow it a second time if they have followed it once before.

Rank 1) Escape BondEscape Bond: You may remove any mundane restraint (such as rope, handcuffs, a bear-trap, or a straight jacket), or you may remove a grapple or bind foot effect. If used out of combat, you may do so in a whisper., 1 Gnosis, Self

Rank 2) ConfusionConfusion: Mental. Use the sig call: “Confusion” For the next 10 minutes the target cannot fathom what's happening around them - it is as if they are a child learning about the world for the first time.

Rank 3) AugmentAugment: Increase that damage you deal with brawl and melee attacks by 1 unless otherwise specified. You may not increase your damage above 4.

This Rage will last until the end of the current game or until used. A target cannot have its rage pool brought above its normal maximum of 10 through use of this power. A target which normally does not possess Rage may not be given more than 5 total rage through use of this power. If giving Rage to a target that normally does not have Rage, the target gains a frenzy mechanic, and their health feeds vampires blood at double rate and incites frenzy. Additionally, a target given Rage gains each of the following powers: Enrage, 3 Rage, Self, 60 seconds, when this effect ends, your rage pool is set to 0.; Augment 1, 1 Rage, Self, 60 seconds.; Healing Touch 1 (does not increase), 1 Rage, Self.; After 10 minutes in the Dying state you may spend 1 Rage to regain 1 Health.; Hanging On, 1 Rage, Self, 60 seconds., 1 Rage, Other, Touch

Rank 5) Shadows by FirelightShadows by Firelight: Mental. While telling a story, spend the required energy, touch a target, call "Firelight Shadows: Join my Story:" and name a character in your story. The target takes on the role of that character and performs the actions described. Characters in the story may not cause actual harm while taking part in it and should call all damage as 0. The effect ends if you pause in your story for more than 10 seconds, if the target takes damage, or if your story reaches a total time of 10 minutes. All targets must be able to hear you while you tell your story., 1 Gnosis per target, Others, <10 minutes maximum

Bubasti - Mechanical Yava (secret flaw): Bubasti must eat or drink some of anything edible/imbibable that is put in front of them - you need not eat something that would cause the player an allergic reaction, but if an item is in-game poisoned or treated with a drug, you must “eat” it regardless.

They may not return for the next 10 minutes as long as they remain in the Umbra., 1 Gnosis, Other, 10 minutes

Rank 4) ParalyzeParalyze: Mental, Disable. Use the sig call "Paralyze" and designate a target. For the duration the target may not move their body.
