Rank 2 Galliard Gift
The Galliard sets the stage for a rite, performing a prelude before it begins that helps to catch the attention of the spirit world and put the attending Garou in the right frame of mind for the ritual. Any kind of performance can accompany this Gift, including dance, music, and song, howling, a rousing story or the recitation of a grand epic. Any others who wish to join in may do so; in fact, multiple Galliards using this Gift together can boost the rite even further.
System: The player spends a Gnosis point, and the werewolf spends anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more on a performance for the attendees of a rite that’s about to begin. The performance should be appropriate to the rite; the Gift won’t work if she plays a soft lullaby as a prelude to the Rite of Boasting. So long as the rite commences immediately after the performance ends, the ritemaster gains a number of bonus dice on the rite’s roll equal to the Galliard’s dots of Performance, plus any specialty relevant to the performance given. For each Galliard after the first who participates in the same performance and uses this Gift at the same time, the ritemaster adds another bonus die. The ritemaster cannot gain more than ten dice through the use of this Gift.
