City Father - the diverse uncertainty.Centaur - the free-spirited celebrant.They have been known to teach Gifts to their Children and protect them spiritually. Often these Totems are looked upon with a measure of disrespect because they are secretive and unpredictable. They have taught many of the Garou mystics the secrets of wild magic, and they continue to aid the Theurges of the Garou in learning about the Gifts lying fallow in their psyches. Wild, strange, spiritual Totems, usually nature spirits and elemental forces. Triune Goddess - the threefold warriors.Black Unicorn - the dauntless sentinel.They have been known to lend Rage to their Children. They are perhaps a bit too bloodthirsty to win much lasting respect from the Garou as a whole, but they are helpful in times of battle. They are Totems of Rage, and they have aided the Garou in battle, in tactics and strategy, and in reconnoitering, since the First Pack. Most often animal spirits, traditionally predators and warriors themselves. Grandfather Thunder - the intimidating overseer.They are the Totems of Honor, and they have provided leadership advice, diplomatic assistance, and other kinds of help to the leaders of the Garou for many years. Cost 6Īncient spirits that have been associated with the greatest of all Garou. Lady Luck - the unpredictable fate-weaver.However, some Ragabash and many young Garou, desperate to break with tradition, have allied with these Totems. Almost all Garou believe it is dishonorable to follow a Totem of Cunning (with the exception of Coyote). Thus, these Totem spirits are not well-known. Since they usually prefer direct assault, none of the Garou Tribes have Totems of Cunning. This is something that's *almost* worthy of being in the company of CoG Revised.The Garou, as a race, are not the most cunning of creatures.

I wrote a Note explaining my reasons in the listing. And yes, I labeled Playing the Heart-Strings as a Bitter Grin Gift, even if it is a non-canon label. This Gift would work far better if it belonged to the Bitter Grins.ĮDIT: Ok, Nuwisha is done, only Ratkin and Rokea to go. How does ruining the lives of thousands of innocent people who don't even know why their lives are being ruined help educate them into being better people? "Utterly ruining thousands more" people? How in the name of Gaia does this Gift do *anything* but serve the Wyrm if it ruins the lives of thousands of people at a time? This even goes against the grain for Nuwisha, because their schtick is to use pranks to educate people (assuming they're redeemable).


One use of this Gift can skew the laws of chance throughout Vegas, bringing two people together but utterly ruining thousands more. While the target may feel like his life has turned into a romantic comedy, everyone around them gets caught up in events that could ruin their lives. Instead, it warps and twists chance, fate, and destiny to ensure the star-crossed lovers meet. This Gift doesn’t directly affect either of the lovers. They have plentiful chances to talk and get to know one another, and at the end of the chance meetings they are able to start a surprisingly stable relationship. Each meeting is a bizarre co-incidence in an otherwise improbable situation - the star-crossed lovers don’t meet in a bar, but end up in hospital beds next to one another after a car crashes into a shopping mall, or meet when they both beat the same casino for millions of dollars. The target will meet someone suitable in the next scene - who he meets is outside of the Nuwisha’s control - and keep meeting them in strange circumstances over the course of the next (12 – successes) months. Her player spends a point of Gnosis and a point of Willpower, then rolls Wits + Subterfuge (difficulty of the target’s Willpower). A Nuwisha who possesses this Gift will never know its benefits - she becomes unable to use it as soon as she enters an ongoing relationship. Often wildly improbable, this Gift results in relationships that work, having come through weird coincidences and bizarre misunderstandings. It is the first step in a chain of unlikely events that bring two people together. Such simple relationships aren’t for this Gift. Sometimes it runs smoothly, from a first meeting to first kiss to a lifetime together. Playing the Heart-Strings (Level Four) - True love comes in many forms.Take a Gander at this, from Changing Breeds, p174: Making progress on Nuwisha but I just came across a *really* strange Gift, even for the Nuwisha.
