Gnawer: So I went to the place where him and me went the other day, and we talked about that thing and what she thought about it, and whether or not he wanted us to go to the park.
It seems confusing, and to a casual observer, it is. However, the inflections transmitted can be picked up by any listener. The base chance of interpreting just from watching is Wits + Linguistics, (Diff 9), but the watcher must be aware of something going on. If another Garou is listening, he can spend a point of Gnosis, and automatically understand. However, as above, the Garou must know there's more to the gibberish than mere gibberish.
Otherwise, it's a simple matter of the Gnawer picking a target, and babbling to him. She spends a point of Gnosis, and babbles away. The selected target immediately understands what is meant. Multiple targets can be selected, with a 1 pt. Gnosis expenditure for each.
Of course, message length is controlled by the amount the Gnawer actually speaks. For every five chatter words, one actual word is conveyed. The basic message must be formed beforehand, and thought throughout. Thus, the Gnawer can't do anything that requires total concentration, and all other difficulties are increased by one.
Additionally, the chatter is really annoying. The average authority figure will soon lose patience with the babbling. The specific effect is left up to the ST.
Further, the target must be present in the room with the Gnawer. Part of it is body language, as the Gnawer conveys what is important, and what is not. Thus, the message cannot be recorded, unless videotaped.
