Rite of Rending the Gauntlet
By Dmitry Kaminsky (dkaminsky@tapecoat.com)
Level One Bastet Rite
Description
Bastet (especially Khan) entered the War of Rage to protect Gurahl, the Werebears. The wise Gurahl appreciated the Bastet's sacrifice and taught them this ritual as a token of gratitude. The Khan roll Wits+ Occult vs the Gauntlet. The Khan must extend his claws and slash through the air making a hole in the Gauntlet, and then stepping through it. Bastet with this ritual may gain a flaw: Slip sideways. For them it works differently. Any time they are in a stressful situation that they make fast motion with their hands, they must roll Willpower (5) or begin shifting over. On another hand, the difficulty to breach the guntlet is 1 less for them. NOTE: Only Bastet from Russia, Canada, India, China and Japan may have this rite initially, as these are the only places where Gurahl used to live in recent history.
