Primal Howl

Rank 2 Red Talon Gift
Howl Gift

The howls of a wolf pack evoke fear in prey, as they sense the predators approaching. This Gift allows a Red Talon to emit a howl that evokes that same reaction in anyone that can hear it. The Gift is taught by a wolf-spirit or ancestor-spirit.

System: The player rolls Stamina + Expression (difficulty 7). If the Red Talon also knows the Galliard Gift: Call of the Wyld, reduce the difficulty of the roll by one. If the roll succeeds, any being that wishes to approach the Garou must succeed in a Willpower roll (difficulty 6). If the Garou approaches, the being must make the same roll or back away (or flee). Wolves and Garou are not affected by this Gift. Every success on the player’s roll beyond the first lends an additional “voice” to the howl. Therefore, if the player rolls three successes to activate this Gift, it sounds as though three Garou are howling, not one. Each additional “wolf” adds one to the difficulty of Willpower rolls to approach the Garou or stand one’s ground if the Red Talon approaches (so to approach the Garou on a “three-wolf” howl would require a Willpower roll at difficulty 8).
