Yo!
So, this isn't Rob making a house rule, just listing one Badadam hasn't quite gotten around to publishing.
There have been a few tainted fetishes taken off the bodies of fallen BSDs. And why the hell not? I mean... free shit, right? To the victor goes the spoils, am I right? Well, trouble is if you bond with a tainted object it slowly starts driving you crazy (we got a system for it, but aren't going to publish it. Ever. HA!)
So, how do you cleanse a tainted fetish? First, you look at the fetish and see what sort of spirit is fueling it. If it's a Bane, you are likely SOL; it's damn hard to fix those. If it's a twisted anything else, move on to step two.
Step two, you go on a MIGHTY QUEST! Oh yes. Not just quest. Mighty. So far Helios has been the target of this, but in truth any badass Celestial or similarly powered spiritual body can cleanse fetishes. It's hard to find these guys. They don't come to you.
Step three! Pay said badass that could eat you with a thought. This payment is in the form of your own spiritual essence. In game terms, you lose two dots of Gnosis if you have a 1-5, or one dot if you have 6+.
Congrats, the fetish is now clean. The spirit inside will forever more be clean and the fetish operates just as it should for ya. But it comes with a price. Since it cost you part of your soul, it will only work for YOUR character. Passing it around for any reason frees the newly cleaned spirit. Sorta like the genie. Start over.
Please note: This moves beyond tribal, auspice or breed lines. You find a Favor of Fenrir on a BSD and cleanse it, it's yours till a PC challenges you for it (then frees it anyway).
Cheers!
-Rob.
P.S.
There are a few Camps who are known for using or fixing tainted Fetishes. They have their own system to shortcut this.
