Comforter of the Architect

Comforter of the Architect

Gnosis 5

This is a bedquilt made from scraps of old clothes and embroidered with ancient Garou designs. A Jaggling of the powerful spirit called the Architect of Sleep is stitched into the quilt. Any Garou sleeping in the quilt may pass one of her Abilities to a packmate. Before going to sleep, she speaks to the packmate about the Ability (a "bedtime story"), and then while she is truly asleep the packmate will possess the Ability in question.

To activate the fetish, Garou makes a Wits + Expression roll, with the difficulty being the packmate's Willpower, and spends a Gnosis point. If the situation is stressful, the Storyteller may force the sleeper to make a Willpower roll against her own Willpower to fall asleep. The Ability can be one that the packmate does not have, but cannot be one totally alien to the recipient; for instance, a human cannot be lent Primal-Urge.
