Words Like Wind

Rank 4 Galliard Gift

Music, poetry and catchphrases are contagious, sweeping across cultures and communities like a breeze through trees. The Galliard knows how to take advantage of this habit of social creatures, sending her messages across the world one ear at a time. Wind-spirits and Net-Spiders can teach this Gift.

System: The player spends one Gnosis point when the werewolf gives a short performance or passes on a catchy message. She may make a Social roll as part of the message, or she may simply transmit it with no ulterior motive other than to spread it. For a number of days equal to her Gnosis, the snippet of communication spreads from listener to listener like a virus, reaching as far as any given listener travels. It can be transmitted digitally or over the phone, as long as it’s audible (or visible, in the case of a dance or gesture). If the player included a Social roll with the message, the result of that roll applies to every listener who becomes part of the trend. Individual listeners with Willpower higher than the successes on the roll are unaffected by the influence, but they do not stop the spread of the message. While it circulates, the Galliard gains the effects of the Reputation Merit within ten miles of the point of origin.
