Gifts

This Gift allows the Glass Walker to contact others through any technologi­ cal device. The Garou speaks to a Pattern Spider in or near a technological device and tells them the message to be delivered and whom it should be delivered to. The Pattern Spider then finds the receiver and uses any com­ munications technology near them to deliver the message: Phones yell it out (without picking up the handset or needing to be turned on), electronic billboards display it, and computer printers print it out as text. If no com­ munications technology is present, any other technology will activate, though no message will be imparted. If no technology whatsoever is present near the receiver, the Gift fails. A Pattern Spider teaches this Gift.

System: The player spends a Gnosis point and rolls Charisma + Science. The difficulty depends on the distance the message needs to be sent: The next room is difficulty 4, the same building 5, one block away 6, ten miles (16 km) away 7, a time-zone away 8. Beyond that is difficulty 9. The more successes achieved, the longer the message can be. A single success will only allow one word to be sent; five would allow unlimited length.
