Items

Some Kami begin their existence without sentience. Kami of the flora and Kami of the soil are alien even to Garou to whom spirits are the norm. They don’t necessarily need to function in the same arenas as more expressive, mobile Kami, but in some cases can. Creation begins like human and animal Kami:

1) Prioritize three categories of Attributes: Physical, Social and Mental. Put six dots into the primary category, four in the second and three in the tertiary. As with hu­ man Kami, each Attribute starts with one dot. Many land and plant Kami that can’t communicate with humans or shapeshifters may never use some Attributes outside of specific Kami powers. If Gaia gives normal-sized plant Kami them the ability to move freely, create them using the systems for animal Kami.

2) Prioritize three categories of Abilities: Talents, Skills, and Knowledges. Assign eleven dots in the primary category, seven in the secondary, and three in the tertiary. Like Attributes, many Abilities may not have an active role in the everyday existence of the Kami. Plant and land Kami can perceive themselves and their surroundings as a similarly sized spirit.

3) Kami of the land and plant Kami start with Willpower 3 and Gnosis 5, but no Rage. Purchasing the power Spirit Ties can increase Gnosis to 10 in plant and land Kami. Like other Kami, Berserker gives land and plant Kami five points of Rage.
