Bone Gnawers Kinfolk
Tribe · Werewolf
• Chain Talk (Level One) This Gift enables a human Kinfolk to participate in the Bone Gnawer’s Barking Chain for a brief time. Because they cannot change shape, Kin do not have the ability to shape lupine noises. For the duration of this Gift, the human Kinfolk’s normal voice can mimic to that of a wolf’s. The human speaks normally, but the sounds that he produces mimic the language of the Barking Chain.
System
The Kinfolk spends either a point of Gnosis or Willpower to evoke this Gift. With Willpower, the Gift lasts for the length of one series of conversations (usually one scene). A Kinfolk who possesses the Gnosis Merit may use Gnosis instead of Willpower to extend the duration to 24 hours. A wolf- or dog-spirit teaches this gift.
• Trash Hound (Level One) — This Gift resembles the Bone Gnawer Level One Cooking Gift except that Kinfolk without Gnosis can learn it. A Kinfolk uses a special cooking pot, such as a cast iron skillet, Dutch oven, or other all-purpose vessel and fills it with some sort of liquid and any food or food-related items that happen to be nearby. The food need not be still edible. Items can include wrappers from fast food to gourmet deli-paper, cereal box-tops, coffee filters, and similar goodies. The result is a meaty stew, a hearty casserole, mac and cheese, or spaghetti and meatballs — enough to feed a family for a main meal.
System
The Kinfolk combines the ingredients while concentrating on the desired meal, spends a point of Willpower, and waits 15 minutes. At the end of this time period, the food is piping hot and ready to eat. The meal must be consumed before the next morning or it will disappear. If a Kinfolk possesses Gnosis, spending one point of Gnosis instead of Willpower also erases tiredness and ensures a good night’s sleep for all partakers. This Gift is taught by a fire-spirit.
