Canon Fetishes

[Josh]

Let me start by saying under HST Magic Rob there are no custom fetishes.

Though there are individuals with good ideas or fetishes that were not carried over from previous editions into Revised. As such staff is hence including the following list of Fetishes/Talens into Canon.

These fetishes will include the Name, Rank, Gnosis, and System. Flavor text and story behind the fetishes will be added where applicable.

[Josh]

Gnosis Bag
Rank: 4
Gnosis: 9
General Fetish

System: The Gnosis Bag is a small pouch that can hold additional gnosis for the owner. The bag may hold up to the half owner's gnosis rounded down. Only the owner may place or take gnosis from the bag. To retrieve the gnosis from the bag the Garou must activate the fetish and spend a turn literally eating the gnosis. The number of gnosis gained is equal to the successes scored on the activation roll. If the owner gives the bag to someone else and they attune the Gnosis Bag to themselves, all gnosis kept in the bag vanishes and does not return if the original owner re-attunes the fetish to himself. An Engling must be bound into this fetish.

Carnyx of Victory (Fianna Tribebook, page 78):
Rank: 4
Gnosis: 7

System: The horn is being altered so that the bonuses given apply only to aggressive combat actions. Generally, it is restricted to the 'to-hit' roll. This does not apply to damage, dodge, parry, etc. While certain things can be argued for application, it will NEVER affect Gift activation, Soak, Ancestor rolls, Lore Rolls or Damage rolls.

[Magic Rob]

Phoebe's Veil (Revised Core book, page 301)
Rank: 3
Gnosis: 7
General Fetish

System: This fetish will operate exactly how it is detailed in the book with the following exception. The fetish stops working once the character has interacted with a rival/enemy in a manner that would normally expose the character. Staff feels that this fetish is entirely too powerful as a level three power. Further, it renders many other stealth gifts as well as the mundane stealth skill as nearly useless.
This fetish will still make you an uber ninja, just not an untraceable assassin.
(Examples of what would cause this fetish to fail are attacking, gifts with visible effects, physically attempting to take items off enemies.)

[Magic Rob]

Soul of Lightning (Hammer and Klaive page 73)
Rank: 4
Gnosis: 7
General Scar Fetish

System: This fetish will operate exactly how it is detailed in the book with the following clarifications. The stunning effect of taking more then 4 health levels of damage will be run as losing remaining actions THIS COMBAT ROUND, assuming your opponent has remaining actions, OR losing all actions next round should they have no more actions remaining this combat round. Staff feels that this offers a substantial combat advantage without forcing a PC into double jeopardy.
Further, this fetish very clearly only affects 'claw' attacks. Placement of the scar is irrelevant; bonus and effect will only target claw attacks.

[Magic Rob]

Bloody Bandages (Hammer and Klaive, page 80)
Rank: Talen
Gnosis: 7
Ahroun Talen

System: This talen will operate exactly how it is detailed in the book with the following clarifications. The wording of this talen implies that you have to have suffered damage before you can activate them. Thusly, moving forward, a character has to be suffering from a measurable amount of damage (read: at least one health level) before these bandages can be activated.
A further clarification; you may have only one 'suit' of bandages prepped at any given time. They must be bonded to a form, and it will take 3 combat ROUNDS to reapply another set of bandages regardless of number of actions one is entitled to within said round.
A further clarification; Bloody Bandages require such an extensive amount of work, materials, and life threatening effort that they are not subjected to the 'batch' rules detailed elsewhere in the Hammer and Klaive book. You get one per scene, period.

As with Rob's staff, under my staff any fetish from an unusual book which is approved by staff and introduced into game becomes canon and we'll continue to post them here.

Storybag (Rage Across Appalachia, page 155)
Rank: 2
Gnosis: 5
General Fetish

This fetish is usually a cloth bag decorated by its maker with beads, embroidery, or colorful dyes. This useful item retains the important elements of stories which are spoken into the bag. Whenever a Garou attuned to the bag wishes to make certain that she remembers a particular story, she may activate the bag, which will release the highlights of that story into her mind. This adds an extra die to Expression or Performance rolls. Most Garou whose Kinfolk come from cultures which value oral storytelling have some version of this fetish.

[Valerie]

Fang of the Wyrm (from 2nd Edition)
Rank: 1
Gnosis: 3
General Fetish

Septs often give these simple fetishes to new Garou after their Rites of Passage. A Fang resembles just that: a pearly white fang on a leather thong. When the fang is activated, it reacts to the presence of the Wyrm by turning a mottled, bilious green. The more corrupted the surroundings, the darker the fang becomes. The fang clears after being in a Gaian caern for an hour.
Any spirit servant of Gaia can empower this fetish.

[Valerie]

Paracelsus' Pommel (Players Guide, Page 144-145)
Level: 2
Gnosis: 8

As implied in the book, this is in fact a general fetish available to all tribes, though tribes may have slightly different names and/or objects used.

The mechanic is as per book, with one clarification: the amount of Gnosis fed to this this fetish cannot exceed your permanent Gnosis rating at any time. You can't have three of your buddies pouring their Gnosis into it at the same time as you do.

[Valerie]

Chuck Rock (1st Ed Bonegnawer, Page 44)
Level: 2
Gnosis: 4
Bonegnawer Fetish

This is a rock from a demolished ghetto building. Its inherent Rage causes it to become a deadly weapon when thrown. By spending one Rage point and throwing it (Dexterity + Athletics; Difficulty 5), the rock will do five dice plus the number of attack successes of damage. The rock is tough and will not break.

To clarify, the damage mechanic on this works like a firearm, not a melee weapon.
