System: This fetish is shunned outright by Red Talons and regarded with some consternation by all lupus, including those of the Glasswalker tribe. Ironically, it was developed by the Bone Gnawers and is now occasionally used by the more macho and aggressive Ahrouns, notably Homid Ahrouns. The screws do not penetrate the other side of the mandible but nonetheless impede speech slightly, giving a +1 difficulty to all rolls involving extended speech. Very few Garou with this fetish are accomplished howlers, and for this reason most Galliards shun it also. The only advantage it gives is a boost to jaw power, allowing +1 damage to all biting attacks and a +1 difficulty to anyone attempting to escape from this Garou's Jaw Lock manoeuvres. It is always active but 'absorbs' a single point of Gnosis during every full moon -- at this time the Garou must also make an activation roll to receive the benefits of the fetish. They receive the penalties regardless of whether they make this roll successfully or not, and the Gnosis point still gets 'absorbed'. Both screws must be present for the fetish to function and, with very few exceptions, the heads of the screws are visible in all forms. This is likely to draw a great deal of attention, and because of its nature grants a +2 dice bonus to all Intimidation rolls. This fetish lowers the Appearance of the Garou by 1, but cannot lower the Appearance below 2.
Spirit: A spirit of technology, strength or war is bound into the screws.
