Garou Chapter Eight

LAWS OF THE WYLD WEST (8.0)

This appendix describes alterations to Laws of the Wyld West, for use in the Camarilla’s Sanctioned chronicle. A minimum of High Approval is required for Garou venue characters to take anything from this book. Top Approval is required for creatures outside the Garou venue to take anything from this book.

SHIFTING BREEDS (8.1)

Do not use the rules for Nuwisha or Corax from Laws of the Wyld West.

BACKGROUNDS (8.3)

Fetish
The Spirit Axe and Warbow Fetishes have initial statistics based upon their size (check the weapon statistics beginning on page 83 of Dark Epics).

The Turtle Necklace gives extra Traits that are applied only in challenges where the character is defending (not when he is affecting his foe in return).

GIFTS (8.4)

Most of the old Gifts in Laws of the Wild West have fallen into disuse. Rarely will a Garou have even heard of them, so discovering which spirits teach them is somewhat difficult. Gifts that reference the Storm Umbra are nearly useless to the Garou in these times. They can only be used in areas with extreme amounts of Wyld energy present, such as in the heart of the Amazon rain forest, or in a few rare pocket realms that are charged with Wyld energies.

If a Gift states that it uses the system from Laws of the Wild, but the Gift referred to does not exist in that book, the Gift is not used in the Sanctioned chronicle.

Healing Breath of Mother Gaia [Advanced Black Fury]
Because this Gift takes a day or two to implement, Wyrm creatures can easily avoid the damage unless they are restrained or otherwise unable to move away from the Gift user.

Iron Fur [Basic Iron Rider]
The extra Traits are applied in challenges only where the character is defending, not when he is attacking his foe in return.

Kachina's Luck [Advanced Uktena]
The doll created a number of Traits equal to half the Garou's permanent Gnosis (ignore the Extended Challenge system presented). A character may only have one of these dolls created at a time.

Mirage [Intermediate Fianna]
This Gift may only add to the environment and not suppress or turn objects invisible.

Rattler's Bite [Intermediate Metis]
This Gift only works on "alive", biological creatures that have a circulatory system.

Roar of Vengeance [Advanced Get of Fenris]
A maximum of three levels of damage may be inflicted per use of this power.

Weave of Steal [Advanced Homid]
Apparel can only grant its wearer four levels of armor, so the Gift user can give normal clothing four bonus levels, or she can give chain mail armor two bonus levels. Multiple uses of this Gift, or the stacking of clothing and armor cannot grant more than four levels.

RITES (8.5)

Rites of the Frontier and Rites of the Pure Ones are simply no longer useful (or even heard of) in modern times. Even discovering which spirits teach them is somewhat difficult.

Rite of the Trodden Track
Multiple uses of this rite are not cumulative.
