Conundrum (Level Jhree) — A Stargazer with this
Gift can introduce an unsolvable problem into a victim's
mind. Depending on the effectiveness, the target could be
completely immobilized hyther new, fascinating train of
thought. The effect varies with every individual, but it
usually derives from the target's personality: A computer-
hacking Glass Walker might try to discover the last digit of
pi, while a Bone Gnawer might try to reason why, indeed,
did the chicken cross the road. An avatar of the Chimera
teaches this Gift, but the Garou must first solve her instructor's
puzzle.
System: The Stargazer rolls her Manipulation + Sub-
terfuge (difficulty of the target's Wits + Enigmas). The
number of successes indicates the complexity of the problem
and the extent to which the target is distracted. Each success
also subtracts one die from the target's Dice Pools for an
equal number of rounds. Each Willpower point the target
spends reduces the effectiveness of this Gift by 1.

,• Avoid Fate (Level Four) — With this Gift, the
Stargazer carydodge the wheels of fate for the moment.
Through a preternatural connection between herself and
the universe, she avoids certain disaster. A Cat-spirit teaches
the Garou this Gift.
System: Once per scenej the player can spend a Gnosis
point to reroll any failed roll.

• Directing the Soul (Level Five) — Stargazers with
this Gift can redirect the effects of their Rage and Gnosis. By
attaining this higher control over their inner selves, they
influence the world around them in their favor. This Gift is
taught by an Enigmatic spirit.
System: After learning this Gift, the Stargazer can
spend her Rage or Gnosis, instead of Willpower, to receive
one automatic success on a roll.

Inner Light (Level Two) — The Stargazer can step
sideways into the Umbra using only his own inner light; he
has no need of a reflection or bright light to guide him. This
Gift is taught by an Epiphling of Truth.
System: The player must still roll Gnosis as usual, and
the Stargazer can still be "caught." He may lead packmates
into the Umbra as per the usual rules.

• Resist Temptation (Level Two) — Using gestures
to her chakras, as Klaital did, the Stargazer can resist
worldly, mental and spiritual temptations, including cor-
ruption. This Gift is taught by an Earth-spirit.
System: The player rolls Wits + Rituals and spends one
Gnosis point. Each success raises others' difficulties to ensorcel
or supernaturally coerce the character by one. For instance, a
vampire trying to Dominate the Garou would find it harder to
succeed. Against non-supernatural coercion, this Gift is auto-
matically successful. Thus, mundane con artists and tempt-
resses have no power over the Stargazer.

Cunning Koan (Level Three)—The character can
cut through any falsity, illusion or bullshit with a few choice
words. The words cannot be profane and must come in the
form of a short haiku poem or koan. This Gift is taught by
a Crow-spirit or a Chimerling.
System: The player rolls Wits + Expression and spends one
Gnosis point. Any illusion designed to fool others is revealed as
such — even Bastet Den-Realms can be discovered with this
Gift. In addition, anyone attempting to He at that moment is
revealed as a liar— his words instead speak his true intent.

• Walk the Web (Level Three) — The Stargazer can
walk through Weaver realms w i t h o u t attracting attention.
Pattern Spiders will ignore her and go about their business.
The character must chant a mantra through sub-vocaliza-
tion (mouthing it silently). This Gift is taught by various
Enigmatics. However, if the Stargazer takes direct action
against any Weaver minions, the effect of the Gift is
canceled and the spiders will come.

Imaginal Mantra (Level Four) —The Stargazer can
chant a mantra to banish B a n a l i t y from the area and
awaken Glamour. During the chanting, he must imagine
the area as being inherently magical, seeing the rocks,
stones and buildings as living things — he must pretend to
dream while awake. This Gift is taught by a Chimerling.
System: The player rolls Wits + Rituals and spends one
Gnosis point. If successful, any Banality is banished for one
scene. In addition, any fae are revealed in their true forms.

• Break the Loom (Level Five) —The Stargazer uses
controlled cognitive dissonance to temporarily confuse
Paradox and banish it. With riddles and conundrums posed
to the thin air, the Stargazer thus confuses the Weaver, who
halts her spinning as she tries to solve the riddle. This Gift
is taught by Chimera herself.
System: The player rolls Wits + Enigmas and spends
one Gnosis point. If successful, a particular manifestation
of Paradox is canceled. In addition, the Gauntlet of the area
drops for the rest of the scene by one point tor each success
gained. This is an immensely powerful Gift when put: to use
for a mage; however, Stargazers usually let mages learn from
their own mistakes, intervening only if the Paradox threat-
ens someone other than the unwise willworker.

Muladhara (Level One) — The base chakra is
awakened and the energy stirs. The character can call on
this energy to help himself root or center for meditation, or
summon energy to stave off fatigue. This also includes the
Svadhisthana or sacral chakra, governing the sex organs.
System: The player must declare which effect he is trying
to achieve before he rolls. He then rolls Stamina + Rituals and
spends one Gnosis point. Each success lowers the difficulty of
any roll involving meditation by one; or, when resisting frenzy,
each success raises the difficulty of the roll by one — although
the character must perform no other action that turn or the
next. In all cases, Stamina roll difficulties related to fatigue are
lowered by one for the rest of the scene.

• Manipura (Level Two) — The solar plexus chakra
stirs, allowing the character access to powerful energy and
strength which can greatly aid Kailindo maneuvers.
System: The player rolls Stamina + Rituals. Each
success adds one to the character's Strength for the pur-
poses of resisting grapples or initiating holds, but not for
lifting objects or causing damage. This lasts for one scene.

• Anahata (Level Three) — The heart center stirs,
opening the Garou up to normally unseen perceptions
concern ing others. She can sense what they are feeling and
know the best way to make them listen to her (although
they cannot be coerced into acting against their wills).
System: The player rolls Charisma + Empathy and
spends one Gnosis point. For the rest of the scene, the
Stargazer can sense the surface emotions (anger, frustra-
tion, joy, etc.) of those who directly interact with her. After
three or more turns of interacting with that person, the
player may make a Perception + Empathy roll; each success
lowers difficulties on any rolls to sway that person, and he
will be especially receptive to wisdom or advice from the
Stargazer. The Stargazer can also attempt to avert any
angry action against herself in such ways.

• Visuddha (Level Four) — The throat chakra stirs,
allowing the character immense control over his voice and
breath. He can halt others with a bellow or command them
to heed his words.
System: The player rolls Manipulation + Expression and
spends one Gnosis point. For the next scene, anything the
Stargazer says has a commanding quality to it. Each success on
the roll lowers the difficulty on any roll to command others,
and he may even ask them to act in ways contrary to their
nature (although not acts which will directly harm them).
In addition, he may issue a resounding Ki-ai at anytime, a
bellow meant to scare opponents and give the Stargazer the
initiative in combat. Roll Stamina + Expression; each success
lowers an opponent's initiative and attack Dice Pools by one
die for three turns. The ki'ai does not require a separate action;
characters do not have to split their Dice Pools to issue one in
the same turn in which they attack. A Ki-ai may be effective
against a single opponent only once per scene.

Atma (Level Five) — The crown chakra stirs and
the third eye opens. The Stargazer gains immense wisdom
and occult perception.
System: Roll Wits + Enigmas and spend one Gnosis
point. Each success lowers the difficulty of any Enigmas roll
Stargazers
by one and adds one to the character's Enigmas skill. This
effect lasts for one scene.
In addition, for the following scene, the character sees
spirits interacting with the world, and knows if Gifts or
other supernatural powers (Disciplines, Spheres, Cantrips,
etc.) are active within his sight.

The following Kailindo maneuvers complement those
given in the Werewolf Players Guide.

• Catch the Wind: The Kailindoist can catch missiles
thrown at her, from rocks and darts to arrows. Bullets or similar
high-speed missiles cannot be caught with this maneuver. One
missile aimed directly at the character (or at a target up to three
feet away) can be caught per success gained on the roll.
Usable by: Homid-Crinos

• Chakra Strike: The Kailindoist punches an
opponent's chakra center with two fingers. In addition to
normal Strength damage, th ere are other effects depending
on the chakra struck:

Usable by: Homid-Crinos

• Mountaintop: The Kailindoist roots himself to the
spot by sinking his center and sending his energy down-
ward. It is extremely hard to topple a mountaintop. The
d i f f i c u l t y for this maneuver is reduced by one if the
Kailindoist is in Hispo or Lupus form (on all fours). The
successes gained from this maneuver add to the Kailindoist's
Strength to resist being moved or knocked down. However,
she cannot move in any turn in which she roots.
Usable by: Homid-Lupus
The following maneuvers requires the expenditure of
a Rage point.

• Rollaway: Whenever the Kailindoist is toppled or
brought to the ground, she can switch to a four-legged form and
instantly assume her footing. No roll or separate action is
required, just the expenditure of a Rage point. If she was in a
four-legged form when toppled, this maneuver has no effect.
Usable by: Homid-Crinos

• Uncoiling Snake: The Kailindoist throws a kick or
punch but shifts to a larger form at the last moment,
surprising an opponent with more reach on the blow.
Usable by: Homid-Crinos

•Binding Wind: If a Kailindorani wishes to immobilize
his opponent without inflicting serious damage, he may
catch his opponent by the wrist and use momentum and
leverage to immobilize her. If the Kailindorani scores more
successes on his roll to hit than the opponent has dots in
Dexterity, the opponent is held motionless. Held opponents
may spend a point of Willpower to attack with another limb
or may free themselves by winning a contested roll of
Dexterity versus Dexterity (difficulty 6). Damage from this
maneuver is based on the Kalilindorani's skill rather than
strength. Opponents do not take damage for subse-
quent turns they are held past the first.
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 6
Damage: Kailindo first turn; none subsequent
Actions: 1

• Deceptive Wind: The Kailindorani leaps at her oppo-
nent and, feinting a kick from the front, strikes from the side
or from behind as she passes. The maneuver may not be
blocked, only dodged.
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 5
Damage: Strength +1 Actions: 1

• Falling Tempest: The Kailindorani launches himself
at his opponent and, airborne, catches her about the throat
with either his legs or arms. If the Kailindorani scores more
successes on his roll to hit than the opponent has dots in
Strength, the opponent is knocked to the ground and held
in a chokehold. Opponents in a chokehold lose one Health
Level each turn. Damage from the chokehold cannot be
soaked but does heal after an hour of rest. Opponents may
escape from the chokehold by winning a contested roll of
Strength versus Strength (difficulty 6).
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 8
Damage: Strength -1; subsequently, one Health Level
per turn while the hold lasts Actions: 1

• Forceful Wind: The Kailindorani makes a running leap and delivers a powerful kick to her opponent's head or
upper torso. If the Kailindorani inflicts more Health Levels of
damage than the opponent has dots in Strength, the oppo-
nent is knocked off his feet.

• Little Cyclone: The Kailindorani crouches while
spinning around with his leg extended, knocking his opponent from her feet. The Garou rolls Dexterity + Kailindo,
resisted by his opponent's Dexterity + Dodge (both diffi-
culty 6). If the Kailindorani has any net successes, the
opponent falls.
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo (resisted by foe's Dexterity
+ Dodge) Difficulty: 6
Damage: 1 die + 1 per extra success Actions: 1

• Storm Dance: This maneuver is not a combative one but
a display of skill. The Kailindorard performs an intricate series of
Kailindo maneuvers in an attempt to impress or intimidate her
opponent. The player rolls Manipulation + Kailindo, resisted by
her opponent's Wits + Brawl (or Kailindo), both difficulty 7. The
Kailindnrani reduces the difficulty of her attacks by 1 for a number
of turns equal to her total remaining successes. This maneuver is
often performed in an attempt to dissuade an opponent and
thereby avoid combat altogether. The Kailindorani may attempt
no other actions during the same turn as Storm Dance. This
maneuver may be done only once per opponent per combat.
Roll: Manipulation + Kailindo (resisted by foe's Wits
+ Brawl) Difficulty: 7
Damage: None Actions: Special

• Tornado Kick: The Kailindorani spins around once
with incredible speed, her momentum adding bone-jarring
force to her kick.
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 7
Damage: Strength +3 Actions: 1

• Whirlwind: The Kailindorani weaves her arms in a com-
plex and rapid defensive pattern before her. For each success, she
may add one die to each blocking maneuver she attempts during
the same turn as this maneuver. The KaiUndmani may attempt
only blocks in the same turn that she uses Whirlwind.
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 7
Damage: None Actions: 1

Свернутый текст

Each of these maneuvers requires the standard roll or
the expenditure of a Rage point to shapeshift into the
appropriate form.

• Changing Breeze: The Kailindorani presents a large
target to her opponent then changes to a smaller form, dodging
the incoming attack. Each success scored by the Kailindorani
on her shapechanging roll adds 1 to the difficulty of her
opponent's next attack (maximum difficulty 10).

Damage: As punch, claw or kick Actions: 1

• Growing Tempest: The Kailindorani grabs her op-

Usable by: All except Hispo or Crinos
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 7
Damage: Strength +2 Actions: 1

• Melting Wind: The Kailindorani changes to a smaller
form to slip out of a hold. Any successes on the Dexterity +

tional damage from the hold, as well as a +1 increase to the
difficulty of all future escape attempts.
Usable by: All except Homid or Lupus
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 6
Damage: None Actions: 1

Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 5
Damage: Strength +2 Actions: 1

• Striking the Wind: The Kaih'ndbrani allows his
opponent to hit him, thus bringing her close as he changes

This maneuver requires the expenditure of a Rage point.
Usable by: All but Crinos
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 5
Damage: As punch, kick or claw Actions: 1

• Subtle Draft: The KoilindWani charges into an
opponent while in Lupus form, getting underfoot and trip-
ping her. He then shifts to a larger form
to take advantage of the situation. The
difficulties of all other attacks made
against his opponent this turn are re-
duced by 1. This maneuver is particularly
useful when several individuals are attacking a single opponent.
Usable by: Lupus
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 6
Damage: None Actions: 1

• Sudden Flurry: A Kailindorani uses this technique
after being grappled or when she wishes to keep her opponent close but off balance. She shifts to a smaller form and
uses the momentum to throw her opponent (usually straight
down). Opponents are thrown a maximum of one foot per
success + the Kaiiind'orani's Strength in feet. Also, if the
throw is successful, the difficulty for her next attack against
this opponent is reduced by 2.
Usable by: All except Homid or Lupus
Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo
Difficulty: 6
Damage: Number of successes Actions: 1

• The Hurricane: The Kailindorani assumes a larger,
stronger form while throwing her opponent, thus gaining
the added momentum and change in leverage of the shapeshift. Opponents are thrown two meters per success +

may vary depending on what the Garou's foe hits. This
maneuver costs 1 Rage.

Roll: Dexterity + Kailindo Difficulty: 7
Damage: See above Actions: 1
