Circular Attack

Rank 5 Stargazer Gift

The greatest Stargazers have no fear of fighting even a horde of opponents. They are able to not only avoid their foes’ attacks, but they can actually channel those attacks into other enemies. A Stargazer with this Gift can even redirect a single foe’s attacks upon himself. A wind-spirit teaches this Gift.

System: The player spends one Willpower point and rolls Wits + Dodge (difficulty of the opponent’s Wits + 3, or the highest Wits + 3 if facing multiple foes). The werewolf must be in close combat, or must be attacked in a firefight by two or more foes. Each success enables the Garou to avoid and redirect one attack. This Gift counts as an action. The Stargazer may not use this Gift multiple times in one turn or spend Rage the same turn (although he may take multiple actions in the standard manner).

For example, a Stargazer with a Wits 4 and Dodge 4 is fighting six foes, each with Wits 2. The player rolls eight dice against a difficulty of 5. He gains four successes, and the Stargazer redirects four attacks. Each of the attackers whose attack was redirected would roll to hit each other or another of the Stargazer’s foes, at the Stargazer’s choice. Two of the foes would strike normally, but the Garou could still dodge their attacks (had the player set apart any multiple actions…)
