Expanded Rules for the Uktena
BY Paul Harris (paul.harris1@virgin.net)
New Camps
The WatchersThe watchers are a group of Uktena whose task is to monitor and find ways to defeat the Vampiric threat. The camp most appeals to Ragabashes and Ahrouns of the tribe and it has had some success of locating a lot of the major vampiric threats including one that is rumoured to be older than any others and possibly the father of all of the leeches.
The HoardersThis camp's primary concern is the cataloguing all the fetishes currently in the world and redistributing them to more worthy Garou. This camp is open to Ragabashes and Theurges of both the Uktena and Bone Gnawer tribes. The camp's aim is to make sure that all the powerful fetishes of Gaia are kept safe by "borrowing" them from "unnecessary threats to Gaia's safety." They basically go around stealing fetishes for the Uktena and Bone Gnawer tribes in the hope of helping out their tribes unify all the garou as a whole by restricting fetishes. The tribes' main efforts are in trying to break into the vault of fetishes that the Black Furies supposedly have.
The Searchers
This camp searches the Umbra looking for any signs of their long lost brothers the Croatan with some taking up a challenge in finding the other lost tribes and trying to convert the Black Spiral Dancers.
New Gifts
Addtional gifts
These are gifts from other books that I think fit in with the Uktena tribe.* Scholars Friend: As the level one Bubasti Gift.
* Banish Sickness: - As the level one common gift.
** Blood Omen: As the Black Spiral gift.
*** Summon Water: As the level two common gift.
New Rites
New Hedge Magic: Weather Magic
This power is descended from the rituals of the Native American Indians and has been passed down from generation to generation and developed into this form. Note: this is treated as a hedge magic and can be used by anyone who wants it (must be Indian) not just Garou. The freebie and experience points are treated the same as all hedge magic costs. This applies to even the supernatural. This power is a modified version of the celestial Hekau path used by Mummies (so you need to have Mummy second edition) with the following changes: Instead of having different spells available at different levels there is a preset power for each level (each power is the same as the mummy spell that is named) note: instead of spending Sekhem the user must spend the equivalent power that they own. So, Werewolves spend Gnosis, changelings spend Glamour, Vampires spend blood, Mages spend Quintessence and Mortals must spend willpower. If the spell requires the use of Ba then they must spend health levels instead. All costs remain the same.| * | Weather Magic

All rolls remain the same but the rating in weather magic is used instead of the rating in Celestial. It is possible for mummies to learn this power.
