Rank 5 Croatan Gift
The Croatan’s legendary stubbornness and strength of purpose was often a hindrance, but they often drew great power from it as well. A Garou with this Gift can persevere against all odds, pursuing a goal of vengeance or a spiritual quest to its end when even great heroes would turn back. Croatan ancestor-spirits teach this Gift.
System: As the Garou ritually declares his purpose or quest to all within earshot he spends a permanent Gnosis point. From that point on, the Garou has no choice but to follow his quest to the bitter end. However, any Willpower rolls made in pursuit of that quest always gain six extra dice (even if this takes his dice pool over 10) and the Garou also gains six extra Willpower points to spend while on his quest (unused points disappear at the quest’s completion).
If the Garou chooses to give up her quest before it is completed, she loses any remaining bonus Willpower points and loses one permanent Willpower point for each of the bonus Willpower points that she spent after activating this Gift. The Garou may never regain permanently lost Willpower points. For instance, if the Garou gives up her quest after spending three of her bonus Willpower points, she may never have a Willpower rating higher than 7.
Note that the quest does not have to succeed, but it must come to a definite resolution for the Garou not to lose permanent Willpower.
