Rank 4 Wendigo Gift
Called Curse of Harano in the Players’ Guide to Garou (revised)
The Wendigo can inflict a state of Harano on a single victim. The target feels the tragic history of all the world’s oppressed peoples, including the Garou themselves. Rumors that this power would not affect Native Americans have been dispelled by a Shadow Lord who swindled the Gift out of a native Wendigo — who found himself the victim of a Gift he’d just taught. The Shadow Lord has not been heard from in recent days. A wind-spirit teaches this Gift.
Second Edition System: For one scene, the Garou can inflict an artificial Harano with a Manipulation + Expression roll (difficulty 8). Five or more successes can result in permanent mental injury. During the duration of the effect the victim is too depressed to perform any actions without a successful Willpower roll (difficulty 6).
Revised System: The player spends one point of Rage and rolls Manipulation + Expression (difficulty 8). More than five successes inflicts permanent Harano upon the victim; otherwise, the suffering lasts for the rest of the scene. (See Chapter Five for more information on Harano.)
[From Chapter Five of Players’ Guide to Garou] All his dice pools are halved; he just doesn’t have the spirit to make any real effort.
