World of Darkness 5th Edition (Paradox) Hunter: The Reckoning 5th: Hans Schroeder

Penumbral Senses

Dicepool:
Intelligence + Wisdom (5)

Perks & Notes:
The player tests Intelligence + Wisdom (5) against the Difficulty of the local Gauntlet (usually 2–5). If successful, the Garou can perceive and interact with denizens of both aspects of existence without penalty, at the Storyteller’s discretion. Although this ability doesn’t make them visible to physical entities if used from the Umbra, it does alert some spirits to their presence if used in the physical world.

Song of Serenity

Dicepool:
Composure + Honor (4)

Perks & Notes:
Make a Gift test at Difficulty 3. If successful, all members of the user’s pack within earshot lose a point of Rage, or two points on a critical win, to a minimum of 1. Pack members in frenzy can make a Composure + Resolve test at Difficulty 3 to snap out of the frenzy and leave Crinos form as normal (see p. 139). A character can be affected by this Gift only once per scene.

Augur

Dicepool:
Intelligence + Wisdom (5)

Perks & Notes:
The Garou’s player makes an Intelligence +   Wisdom test at a Difficulty set by the Storyteller, depend- ing on the distance and nature of the desired location.   (A nearby bus stop blessed with both a mirror and an adjacent puddle might be 2, whereas a cave on the other side of the earth might require 6 to find the single water drop from which to spy.) The Garou can only see, not hear or smell, what goes on at the observed location, and if those who are spied upon have supernatural means to detect intruders, they might well become aware of the surveillance. This Gift can be used in any form.

Rite of Spirit Summoning

Dicepool:
Honor + Persuasion vs Power

Perks & Notes:
With this Rite, a Garou can summon an absent, oblivious, or even unwilling spirit. The spirit is under no obligation to obey the Rite master, however, and unless the Garou expects a friendly parlay they usually follow up this Rite with appropriate Gifts or another Rite, such as the Rite of Binding (see below). To enact this Rite, the performer must catch the spirit’s attention, either by being present in the spirit’s domain or near a person or object possessed by the spirit, or by knowing the spirit’s name if summoning it from the deeper reaches of the Umbra. The Rite must be held in a location that the spirit can reach. If the spirit is bound to an object or a place, the Rite must be held in or near it. If the spirit isn’t tied to a particular physical feature, its name must instead be known by the performer. The resist pool is the spirit’s Power, modified by the local Gauntlet (-2 dice if at a caern; +2 dice if the Gauntlet is unusually high). The Rite master’s relationship to the spirit can also come into play and modify the pools involved. The spirit, if successfully summoned, is bound to stay for one scene, after which it’s free to leave. Upon a Brutal outcome, the spirit is gravely offended and engages in whatever hostile action it is capable of against the performers of the Rite.
