Shell Game

Rank 2 Croatan Gift

Croatan Kinfolk nations used to use all sorts of things as mediums of exchange; colorful seashells were the most popular. With this Gift, a Garou can transform a shell into another method of exchange: dollars, coins, English pounds, Japanese yen, whatever. This Gift is taught by a trickster-spirit.

System: The player must spend a Gnosis point and make a Manipulation + Barter (modern games can use Streetwise instead) roll, difficulty 7. The number of successes determines the value of the resulting money. Using the dollar as an example, one success might create a five dollar bill, three successes a handful of twenties, and five successes could conjure up $1000 in hundreds. The shell cannot be changed into precious metal (gold or silver), or gems/jewelry, only an exact facsimile of actual money (including traveler’s checks and money orders). Once this gift wears off (and it so in an hour’s time), the money turns back into a pretty shell.
