Rank 2 Uktena Gift
Sometimes, one must give information to get information. Perhaps an explanation is necessary to get the curious to go away. However, Uktena are notoriously tightfisted with secrets. With this Gift, the Uktena can share a bit of knowledge that later vanishes from the subject’s memory. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift. Both Raiders and Pathdancers commonly learn this Gift, through it can be found throughout the tribe.
System: When telling the choice bit of lore, the player rolls Wits + Subterfuge (difficulty is the opponent’s Wits + Subterfuge). The number of successes, shown below, determines the effects of the Gift. The Uktena decides beforehand how long the knowledge remains clear, but never longer than 24 hours.
| Success | Effect |
| Botch | Secret retained with unusual clarity |
| One | Secret becomes elusive and garbled |
| Two | Secret is maddeningly beyond reach |
| Three | Subject forgets he was told the secret |
| Four | Subject’s own part in discussion is vague |
| Five | Subject forgets the conversation took place |
