    So I have this nifty Knowledge Gift.

    QuoteQuote:
    Know Name (•)

    To understand something, one must first know its name. This Gift is a simple trick, but one with potentially wide-ranging applications. With a glance, the werewolf can learn the name of someone she sees in person. The name learned is always one that the person would answer to and consider his own. The character cannot use this Gift on a person that she sees indirectly (through a video camera or in a photograph).
    ...and Odie is in a Scene with 4 new unfamiliar Wolves.

    (This is potentially an awesome Icebreaker... or maybe a quick death sentence should they be paranoid?)

    Soooo... In my next post, if I choose to start name dropping how do I make an ooc note at the bottom as I've seen some folk do so I can explain why Odie would know their names having never met.

    Also, I don't see any kind of roll or expenditures with this Gift. So it just happens, then. Right?



    (Had to try the wrap around to see what it did.)


    Also I see that some of my fellow wolves have Primal Urge, Essence and stuff in their signatures. Could someone direct me to the tutorial for that stuff? Please and Thanks You.

    Trying to see how this Wrap Around Works


    Do WtF have our OWN wrap around? And what does nar stand for? Naughty Alien Rabbits?

    Here's where you gotta be careful: the Wiki usually is a paraphrased version of the ability in question. If it does not contain the dice roll, you shouldn't assume that it has none. According to the WtF book, the pool is Intelligence + Investigation + Cunning vs. subject's Resolve + Primal Urge. It does not have a cost to activate, however. See p. 126 of the WtF for the breakdown.

    And the second note? Its bracketed wtf, closing with bracketed /wtf.

    Excellent.

    Digging out the text to go over page 126.



    My follow up question is how do I facilitate 4 Intelligence + Investigation + Cunning vs. subject's Resolve + Primal Urge rolls?

    I don't mind rolling dice. Kinda like it coming to rp by way of Gygax. Trying to avoid it a bit but it would be AWESOME to know these peoples names. So I bow to the rolling then. Just not sure the best, standard way of sorting this out?

    Advice?

    In the meantime, checking my text book to make sure missing something else of the use of Gifts.

    If you want to do it, you'd need to roll the pool 4 times, identifying the target each time. Then the target would need to counter with their own pool.

    the "vs" indicates that the target gets to contest. So Chris would get to roll his Res+Primal urge for a whopping 3 dice. Vs your..im assuming at least 5 dice.

    nar is most likely for narrative. If an ST or story runner wants to bracket something like that.

    Awesome Kelreth.

    Would I slip that in as an OOC follow up

    Something like

    Gift: Know Name: of Hector (My Roll of 5 dice) vs Hector's Resolve + Primal


    Gift: Know Name: of Chris (My Roll of 5 dice) vs Chris's Resolve + Primal


    Gift: Know Name: of Triston (My Roll of 5 dice) vs Tristan's Resolve + Primal


    Gift: Know Name: of Viola (My Roll of 5 dice) vs Viola's Resolve + Primal

    You can include it in the post I think (not sure if things have changed). One cool part of the tags is that you can have multiple lines:

    Gift: Awesomesauce @ Person
    Gift: Lame @ Person2
    Gift: What? @ Person 3
    Gift: No @ Person 4
