Description
This is a small moonstone cabachon cut, but cut in the shape of a crescent moon. It is about 1" long and is ringed in white gold with a white gold chain (suitable for a man or a woman). Within lies both Chimerling and a Lune. This Fetish allows a being of one Bete to appear to be of another Bete. The form taken must be named properly ("Cat Folk" would not work, but "Bastet" would; "Garou" is the proper word, not "Werewolf". etc...). This illusion works for all senses, but it is not actual. Roll Manipulation + Occult Difficulty 7 for most Bete to assume the desired form, plus the expenditure of a Gnosis point (temporary). If one of the Bete that is being imitated examines the character closely, looking for "anything odd," the character must roll the Gnosis of the Fetish to not be discovered. If the examining Bete makes a successful roll when checking the character out, but the character made the Gnosis roll, he noticed the fetish's presence,.but may not know what it is ("You notice nothing unusual about the man, but an odd pendant catches your eye..."). If the character fails the Gnosis roll, the examining Bete discovers the charade no matter what they roll in observance. If the character botches the Gnosis roll, the moonstone cracks and the spirits are released.
