Garou and many Kinfolk generally recognize and respect herbal or folk healing. A packet of healing herbs from a skilled herbalist or herbal pharmacologist would serve as a useful addition to any Kinfolk’s starting equipment. Storyteller and player should come up with the contents of any “herbal kit” chosen as part of a character’s starting Equipment purchased through the Equipment Background. Herbs come in many forms: powders, teas, syrups, poultices, etc.
Aconite, or wolfsbane, is a deadly toxin. Even small doses can kill. Garou are susceptible to it — hence the name. For a character to start the game with this poison herb, she should have at least four dots in the Equipment Background. Storyteller and player must work out the circumstances under which the character acquired this substance and why it was necessary to do so.
