In some cases, their bones are still visible through their skin. The Palewraiths gained this remarkable trait by being kept so far from natural light that they began to become partly immune to the light.
The kith’s blessing is Light’s Aversion: the character may spend one Glamour to receive +1 to Defense when within sufficient shadows. This bonus also applies against firearms. The blessing’s effects last for the duration of the scene, or until the character enters a brightly lit area.
