Rank 5 Galliard Gift

This Gift embodies the Galliard’s ability to manipulate emotion in its purest form. The Galliard can change a target’s emotions as she pleases, from hate to love and back again. Coyote-spirits teach this Gift.

System: The Garou rolls Manipulation + Empathy (difficulty of the target’s Willpower). Success allows the Garou to steer the emotions of any one individual. The more successes the player rolls, the more quickly the emotions manifest and the stronger they feel. Some emotions won’t last without good cause. A Galliard could make someone fall in love with him, but the love won’t last. (It may well even turn into justified resentment.) If the Galliard’s actions would reinforce the emotion — treating a “new friend” well or threatening a terrified foe — there’s a better chance that the emotions will become the real thing. The Storyteller should give the Galliard’s player extra dice for roleplaying this Gift especially well.
