Level 2 Caribou gift
Cost
Description
This gift is how Deragi express dominance, but all are susceptible to its effects. This gift forces 2 male opponents to butt heads until "the cows like the pasture..." It restricts the usage of any other form of combat save headbutting and antler slicing. Even the meekest male will head butt a frenzied Get of Fenris. This gift does in fact override the effects of frenzy in that the frenzying creature can only headbutt. This gift may only be used within 30 feet of a female or 100 feet of an ovulating female. The Caribou effect is also known as the "Thrall of the Antelope." If you come from a matriarchy you are immune to this gift: i.e. Black Furies (the metis males) and all Mokole. This is a resisted Willpower roll made by each side as long as the caster has one success the victims will Butt heads.
