Gifts

Standing in the pouring rain, the Ajaba composes a spontaneous poem expressing his sorrow at Gaia’s fallen state; the intensity of the rain redoubles, and it carries some measure of his sadness. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.

System: The player spends one Gnosis point and rolls Manipulation + Expression (difficulty 7). All humans touched by the rain whose main dwelling is in a place with a Gauntlet of 7 or higher are seized with a great listless melancholy so long as the rain lasts, suffering a –3 penalty to all dice pools. This Gift may only be used while standing in the rain.
