Spirit Ways

By Jason Marshall (jcmarshall@sympatico.ca)

Description

Spirit Ways is the caster's way of talking to and calling up the spirits of the dead. These spirits can give vital information to a situation. All rolls, unless otherwise noted, are Charisma + Empathy at 6. It takes 10 mins to summon up a spirit. Most spirits aren't fazed by being summoned up, but some are easily angered if they are summoned and usually give false information or attack the summoner.

Unlike the Necromancy discipline this Path does not torture information from the spirit. It is a 'friendly' Path.

* Death's Voice

Talk to and see the spirits.

** Banishment

Banish a spirit. This is done vs its Willpower.

*** Death's Gate

Summon up a spirit. Once again, this is vs its Willpower.

**** Death's Gift

The ability to get favors from the spirit in the form of questions answered and such. No actual commands can take place and the spirit need not answer.

***** Command

Allows the summoner to beget tasks from the spirit. This is a roll of the summoners Charisma + Intimidation at the spirits Willpower, with the number of successes equalling the number of tasks.
