Fetish

From Edge of Darkness Wiki

Werewolf Fetish

Your character possesses a fetish, a tool or weapon empowered by a spirit bound within. Perhaps she inherited it from a relative, received it from another werewolf, crafted it herself as part of her initiation or took it from a fallen ally during the prelude. Whatever the reason, your character begins play with a fetish that is already attuned to her.

The fetish has a level equal to the dots in this Merit. One dot of Fetish is equal to three talens (small, minor fetishes; see p. 205), which may be multiple copies of the same talen. You may purchase multiple fetishes during character creation as long as the total dots in this Merit do not exceed five. You could put four dots into Fetish by assigning your character a Spirit Drum (one dot) and a Mask of Life (three dots), but your character could not begin play with a four-dot klaive and a Fireflash (two dots). Further fetishes can be acquired through roleplay as the chronicle progresses, but cannot be purchased by experience points.

Wolf-Blooded Fetish

This Merit allows the character to begin play with a talen or a fetish. Wolf-blood characters cannot begin play with a fetish rated higher than ••, however. One dot of this Merit indicates that the wolf-blood owns two copies of the same talen, two dots translates to a level-one fetish and three dots means the character owns a level-two fetish. Some examples of fetishes that are applicable and useful to wolf-bloods can be found on p. 127, and the rules for creating such fetishes (for werewolves) and using them (for uragarum) can be found on the previous page.

Changeling Fetish

This Merit allows the character to begin play with a talen or a fetish. Any supernatural character, including characters with both major and minor supernatural templates can use this fetish, but ordinary mortals cannot. Non-werewolves cannot begin play with a fetish rated higher than ••, however. One dot of this Merit indicates that the changeling owns a talen, two dots translates to a one-dot fetish and three dots means the character owns a two-dot fetish. The werewolf must then instruct the character in using the fetish since non-werewolves cannot activate the fetish normally. The character must enact the spirit’s ban in order to gain the fetish’s benefits.
