Breaking Wind (AKA Cutting the Cheese)

By Thomas Jefferys (wyrm@mail.utexas.edu)

Level Two Ragabash/Level Three Bone Gnawer Gift

"No need to raise a big stink over it."
-- Beanie-Weenie, Bone Gnawer Ragabash

Description

The Garou may create a particularly stinky fart, somewhat reminicent of a rotting egg, but worse. This toot can be directed at his foes and cause them to become violently ill from the smell, even Wyrm creatures. Some of the other Tribes and Auspices half-heartingly accuse possessors of this Gift to be consorting with the Wyrm. This Gift is taught by a Stinkbug spirit.

System: The Garou must eat baked beans (or similiarly gassy food) six to twelve hours before using this ability, and then during this period, spend a Gnosis point to cut the cheese. To direct the fart, the Garou turns his hind-quarters to the targets and lets go. He rolls Dexterity + Primal-Urge (difficulty 8; you are doing this ass-backwards!). Anyone hit by the stench loses two dice from all actions and must make a Willpower roll (difficulty 5 + Garou's Stamina) to resist running as fast as possible away from the Garou. A botch on this roll causes the poor sap to toss his cookies lose all actions for the rest of the scene. This Gift is especially lethal (so to speak) within an enclosed space, as the entire volume becomes smelly with funk. Everyone save the farter must roll to resist retching, but at -2 difficulty (it's diluted). The reek lasts for a scene, and is treated like Cutting Wind in terms of range.
