Werewolf Rules

Werewolves are warriors. Half man, half wolf, half spirit, they overflow with a force called Rage. Often men of the mountain, nature-lovers, native folk, or fighters in general, the Werewolves (who call themselves Garou) are best known for their ferocity. They deal with a particular Triat of spirits, called the Wyld, the Weaver, and the Wyrm. You may see Fera and Werewolves lumped in together in certain rituals as “Shifters”

Advantages to playing a Werewolf:

Building a Werewolf

• Start by following the Universal Character Creation section in the Universal Character Information chapter and then…
• Choose a Breed from: Homid, Metis, Lupus
• Choose an Auspice from: Ragabash, Theurge, Philodox, Galliard, Ahroun
• Choose a Tribe from: Black Fury, Bone Gnawer, Child of Gaia, Fianna, Get of Fenris, Iron Rider, Shadow Lord, Silent Strider, Silver Fang, Stargazer, Uktena, Wendigo
• Fill in Gnosis (Primary Energy) based on Auspice: Ragabash 9, Theurge 8, Philodox 7, Galliard 6, Ahroun 5
• Fill in Rage (Secondary Energy) based on Auspice: Ragabash 1, Theurge 2, Philodox 3, Galliard 4, Ahroun 5
• Spend 12 points on Gifts. When choosing Gifts, you may purchase from your chosen Breed, your chosen Tribe, and your chosen Auspice. You may only take 1 of each of these types of gift per level at Innate costs.
• Spend 18 points on Backgrounds. (Mortal Rules)
• Spend 10 points (freebies) anywhere you like on your sheet.
• At your first check-in, request your appropriate Renown tags.

You do not need to purchase your Gifts in tree order, however you do need to purchase Gifts in order. Each Rank 2 Gift requires a Rank 1 Gift. Each Rank 3 Gift requires a Rank 2 Gift. You may only purchase non-innate Gifts at or below your character’s Rank. You may purchase one gift per level, per innate tree-set, regardless of rank. Wherever you see multiple Innate Trees, you may purchase one Gift as innate and any others at Non-Innate costs without needing a teacher. Gifts that appear in multiple trees must be purchased at the higher level unless it is in your innate tree-set; innates may be purchased at the lowest available level.

Built-In Powers

Werewolves come with built-in powers.

• Beast FormBeast FormBeast Form: Form. Equip a mask designated by this power. This power lasts until deactivated unless otherwise specified. Falling unconscious while in this form reverts you to your natural form. Remember that while wearing an animal mask you inflict the Delirium effect on mortals. While in this form, gain the powers Augment and Resist: Status, 2 Energy, Self - if you have more than one Energy type, use your Primary Energy type for this. + ClawsClawsClaws: You may use 1 or 2 Claw boffers. While using these boffers you receive Augment (does not stack with Augment from War Form or Beast Form).

If not, you must make a silent 10 count., Variable, Self
• Passive RegenerationPassive RegenerationPassive Regeneration: While not in combat, gain 1 health every 60 seconds up to your maximum health. This ability only functions while conscious. If under the effects of Aggravated Damage, this health gain is slowed to 1 health every 5 minutes instead., No Cost, Self, Always On
• EnrageEnrageEnrage: Mental, Instant. If the target is capable of Rage Frenzy, causes the target to enter Rage Frenzy - you will be the first target of their Beast’s onslaught., 3 Rage, Self, 60 seconds, when this effect ends, your rage pool is set to 0.
• AugmentAugmentAugment: Increase that damage you deal with brawl and melee attacks by 1 unless otherwise specified. You may not increase your damage above 4. This ability stacks with other instances of Augment, but you cannot use the same source of Augment twice (each use must come from a different power tree location.) 1, 1 Rage, Self, 60 seconds
• Healing TouchHealing TouchHealing Touch: Touch the target and use the sig call “Healing Touch [x]”. The target of this power is healed for the amount designated on your power descriptor line.

• Hanging OnHanging OnHanging On: Buff. When you are reduced to 0 health, make the call “Hanging On.” For the next 60 seconds, you may only move at a shambling pace and speak. During this time, you are immune to all attacks and cannot enter the dying state. You may not use powers, items, or otherwise attack. You may allow allies to affect you with healing powers and buffs. 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

Other Shape Shifters

Why, you may ask, aren’t the Fera (the other Shape Shifters) lumped in with the Garou, since they share many of the same mechanics? The main reason is culture, but also things like Gift access, and there are some mechanics which are definitely different. For the most part, the Garou aren’t friendly with the Fera, and the Fera aren’t big fans of the Garou either. When referred to together, you may see us call the combination of Werewolves and Fera “Shifters.”

Werewolf 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. If you have a Rage pool and a vampire feeds from you, you must notify them: you feed at double rate and they should frenzy when they finish.

Ritual and Fetish Access

All Werewolves may use Gnosis-fueled and/or Rage-fueled Fetishes.

Ability: Shifter Rites - While most other types of Supernatural can use Rituals without purchasing a special ability, Werewolves 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

• NODE: The Caern Node is a special type of Node that provides particular benefit to Werewolves. It must be protected - a corrupted or destroyed Caern is a massive Renown loss for characters, and it can mean a loss to your primary Gnosis regeneration source. Your regeneration rate should be listed on the Node Card. The first time you visit the Caern each game Werewolf characters may increase the Caern’s current Health by 3 for no cost, simply by moving 3 tokens into the baggie.
• NODE: The City/Wild Nodes give Gnosis back to most Garou at a slower rate. These Nodes are not attackable.
• SPIRITS: Garou 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

• Heat of the Moment: No more than once an hour going from Out of Combat to In Combat will allow you to gain up to 1 Rage.
• Lunar Strength: 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 view of a large unobstructed area of sky and spend 10 seconds staring up into the night sky.
• Quick Boost: Once each day when you are first reduced to less than ½ your rage pool gain 1 Rage.

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

Rank and Renown

Rank determines your available powers, as well as your relative status to others of your kind. Ranks are earned through Renown. Renown is earned by performing great deeds.

Renown

For simplicity’s sake, Dark Prospects assumes that in play and during downtime Shifter characters perform renown-worthy deeds. To represent this mechanically, while below the renown required for your next rank challenge, Shifter characters receive one renown at check in of each game. When you receive renown in this way, select the type of renown and write it on the renown tag.

Renown is also awarded during play by Spirit characters and some Shifter characters - this is called taking a Renown Action. Renown Actions add or remove one renown from a Shifter character, with some restrictions.

A Character may not earn more renown in one season than 150% of games played as that character (rounded down), and cannot earn less renown in one season than 50% of games played as that character (rounded up). A Player Character may not move a given character more than one renown from base, per season.

- E.g. Greta Galliard can award Shady Shifter a negative renown at game one. Greta may not take further renown actions toward Shady except to award a positive renown the following game, bringing Shady back to even. Greta may then grant Shady another negative renown at game 3, bringing Shady back to -1. But doing so means Greta is sacrificing her ability to impact any other character’s renown during those three games.

Galliard-types may take one renown action per game. Spirits may take one renown action per season, with a second action earned by playing 4 games in a season. STs may have NPCs take renown actions as appropriate. Actions may be saved up between games, but expire at the end of the season.

Actions are not secret - the character whose renown is impacted will know who caused the change. The type of renown gained or lost is designated by the character taking the renown action.

Actions performed during uptime require RP - whether a grand storytelling at a moot, a whisper campaign amongst the elders, or running off and tattling to Uktena, it requires active and appropriate participation. Performing a Systemic Ritual with the appropriate "May contribute to" indicator is automatically sufficient RP. Actions may be performed as a downtime - describe what you're doing to accomplish your goal.

Same-type vs Cross-type actions

The roleplay requirements for taking a rewnown action are significantly different depending on who the cahracter is you're taking the action on. Actions taken for characters of your own shifter type are straightforward: perhaps you're of sufficient authority you just declare it should be so. Cross-type actions require indirect methods and much greater in-character effort, such as locating and convincing a member of the appropriate type, or an NPC spirit, to perform the action on your behalf.

The mechanics for taking an action is the same regardless of shifter type: RP your actions then tell STs. All renown actions are reviewed then approved or declined by STs. If approved, STs will turn in a “renown checkout card”. STs may rule that the actions taken so far were insufficient and more roleplay is required.

Rank

Rank is gated by Rank Challenges, and is formalized by Rites. Each Rank requires a certain amount of Renown, and then completion of a Rank Challenge.

Challenges for Rank 1, 2, & 3 may be put forth by PCs without ST approval. Challenges for Ranks 4 and 5 must be approved by STs, whether issued by PCs or NPCs. Once a Rank Challenge is accepted, renown actions cannot lower someone below the threshold required for Challenge.

Renown is not automatically earned beyond Rank Challenge Threshold. A character must complete their challenge and rank up to gain additional renown this way.

Renown Actions can grant renown above the threshold, and above the threshold can interact as normal, both positive and negative.

- E.g. Shady Shifter has hit 7 renown, but is avoiding rank challenge. Shady will not auto-earn renown until he accepts and completes the challenge, or drops below the threshold. Greta Galliard gives Shady a negative renown, dropping him below the threshold. Next game, Shady will auto-earn a renown, putting him back at threshold and eligible for challenge. Once Shady accepts a challenge, no one can make him ineligible.

Renown Requirements per Rank

	Rank 1	Rank 2	Rank 3	Rank 4	Rank 5
Werewolf	3	6	9	15	24
Fera	3	7	11	18	27

Learning Gifts

Learning Gifts from another Garou will increase the deeds required for both you and the teacher by 1. You should attempt to learn Gifts from Spirits that can teach them. Learning Gifts from Spirits count as a Wisdom deed for this purpose.

Learning Non-Innate Gifts

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

Frenzy

Werewolves 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 Werewolf causes aggravated damage.

Silver and Gnosis

Carrying 1 silver object reduces a werewolf’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)

Greater Totems

Among Werewolves, these are usually referred to as Tribal Totems. Tribal Totems do not receive any benefit from your Totem background. These Totems grant no benefit, but claim you as their children.

Being Fed From

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