Everything

Kami of the land and plant Kami are beyond the scale of claws and weapons, and as such do not have health levels. Instead, destroying a cho­ sen orchard or the face of a mountain requires destruction on a large scale. That isn’t to say these Kami aren’t in danger from a dedicated First Team of fomor or a careless pack of Garou. Through a combination of successful Feats of Strength and widespread vandalism, even the largest redwood titan will fall. Even the Rorqual, the gargantuan living caerns of the Rokea, are so large that attackers are unlikely to fatally wound them by claws alone.

In some cases, the death of a vast Kami is a matter of changing it. Paving over a dusty play­ ground Kami destroys it as thoroughly as scattering its dirt to the wind. Converting an urban garden Kami into the location of a O’Tolley’s franchise is unlikely to be survivable, even if the lot itself remains intact.

4) All plant and land Kami are immune to the Delirium. Many powers that animal and human can take without a second thought have no use to the Kami of root and Kami of soil. Darksight, Mega-Attribute, Claws and Fangs, Wings — these aren’t likely to provide any benefit to an idyllic hillside or ancient redwood. To remedy this, certain powers exist only for the use of flora and earth Kami. Land Kami begin with one-to-three powers.

5) Like animal Kami, land and plant Kami have three points to spend on Backgrounds, and must take at least one point in the Fate Background. Other Backgrounds are rare among the plant and land Kami. The Allies Background can represent fauna protective of a land Kami’s territory. Resources can represent a landscape’s natural resources, from the sought-after wood of rare trees to a seam of pre­ cious metal that the Kami can push to the surface.

Each Kami is unique. Few family or breed templates exist for the kind of powers a Kami might develop. They don’t generally have more than three or four unique abil­ ities, but that’s a guideline more than a rule. The special abilities listed here are not a comprehensive list of the powers inherent to Kami. The Storyteller has the last word in what can be a Kami power. Some of the powers listed
