Trust of Gaia

Rank 5 Children of Gaia Gift

With this Gift, the Garou instantly earns the trust of all who meet him or hear him, even over a telephone or television. They feel instinctively that he is a good and trustworthy person. This feeling wells up from such a deep level that it cannot be changed by even the most invasive mind control. People affected by this Gift can still be mind-controlled to attack the Garou, but hate doing so. Those who are Wyrm-corrupted feel intense dislike instead of trust.

This trust is strong, but it does not supersede the person’s common sense. If the Child of Gaia is firing a machine gun into the crowd, the people will still scatter, rather than trust that he’ll miss them. However, they will all be convinced that he had a very good reason for firing.

The Children of Gaia warn that this Gift has great potential for abuse, and punish those who use it for petty gain. This Gift is taught by an avatar of Unicorn.

System: The Garou rolls Manipulation + Empathy against a difficulty of 6. The difficulty against Garou, or humans corrupted by the Wyrm, is 8. Wyrm beasts are immune. If successful, everyone who sees, hears, or experiences the Garou in any way must make a resistance roll (Willpower against difficulty 6) or feel a high degree of trust for the Garou. They will confide in him as they would a trusted friend. The effect will last for one scene, or as long as the person remains in contact with the Garou. however, even once the Gift’s effect has worn off, the person will feel good will toward the Garou.
