Placation

Rank 4 Theurge Gift

Shamans from many diverse cultures are said to know secrets for placating angry ghosts and ancestors — this Gift is one of them. A Theurge with this Gift always knows exactly what kind of sacrifice is necessary to make atonement for an offense against the spirit world, and is skilled in the secret methods of offering it. A spirit from the realm of Erebus teaches this Gift.

System: With a Perception + Occult roll (difficulty 7), the Theurge learns what she must offer to placate and offended spirit. Usually, as long as both offender and Theurge are sincere, a few points of Gnosis spent is sufficient to restore harmony; if the offender is dead or absent, or the offense is truly great, the spirit courts may require the Theurge take on a geas as chiminage, offer a fetish or undertake a quest. In legendary cases, Theurges have even been known to surrender their lives to restore the Garou Nation’s ties to a wronged Incarna or totem spirit.
