Rituals (Kinfolk)
Ability
Garou learn this Knowledge in order to participate in the spiritual life of sept, tribe, and Garou existence in general. Kinfolk have their own version of Rituals that likewise enables them to add a spiritual and communal element to their existence as blood relations of the Garou. This Knowledge conveys some general knowledge of the Garou rites and mysteries (such as the names and intents of most Garou rites and a simplified version of Garou traditions). In addition, Kinfolk who possess this Knowledge can participate in rites specifically created for Kinfolk. While many Kinfolk rites involve the formalized behavior common to most ceremonial events and serve to provide a closer bond among Kinfolk, or between Kinfolk and their Garou Kin. Other rites provide limited access to the spirit world, though any power gained from such rites in no way rivals the potency of Garou rites. A character cannot learn a rite of a level higher than her Rituals rating.
