Rebirth

Rank 4 Philodox Gift

From death can come hope. From the ashes of ruin can come renewed fighting spirit. The Philodox sheds his blood over the bones of the fallen to briefly return a creature to life, as it’s said that the great feathered serpent Incarna Quetzalcoatl once did. An Avatar of Quetzalcoatl teaches this Gift.

System: The werewolf must touch the bones of an animal corpse that has been dead no longer than (Gnosis) months and carries no Wyrm taint. The player spends a Gnosis point and the werewolf inflicts a number of lethal health levels upon himself, depending on the size of the corpse. Small creatures such as small birds or rodents require one level; medium sized creatures such as wolves, falcons, and iguanas require two; large creatures such as horses, alligators, and dolphins require three; and enormous creatures such as elephants or giraffes require four or more at the Storyteller’s discretion. The player makes an extended Charisma + Primal-Urge roll with a difficulty of (5 + health levels inflicted), rolling once every turn until she has accumulated 12 successes. If successful, her blood forms into new muscle and flesh, filling in the gaps in teh body until it is whole again. The revised creature is loyal to the Philodox for the duration of its existence, but returns to its original state at the end of the scene. The werewolf cannot use this Gift on the same corpse a second time.
