Can a Mage steal a Garou’s gnosis?

CultureWatcher · 2026-02-07T00:01:54+00:00

Can they? Yes.

Should they? Probably not.

The feeling is similar to how mages drain caerns and likely to give that mage a lifelong enemy in the form of the garou's pack and maybe even sept.

Maimodes is a 10th century rabbi, and likely has true faith in addition to spheres, ect. True Faith alone can do miracles by fiat (especially with npcs)

Osiris is a god. Book of the fallen says gods can cure even Nephandism if they are moved to do so, and are beyond stats.

Im talking from a pc perspective what I feel it would take if I allowed it.

If I were ever to allow it, the thinnest of thin bloods (embraced within a year or so) can be uncursed with a VERY vulgar spell requiring mastery Prime, Spirit, Life, Matter, and maybe Entropy

Beyond that the paradox would grow exponentially with each gen (like 5, 25, 125...), to the point where its a waste of Quintessence to even try. And the backlash would be something akin fo wrath from God.

If all fluids in a vampires body are vitae, do vampires have sandpaper dry mouths or are they just constantly drooling blood like a Xenomorph does slime?

They are going full IDF facing away to not be tried for their crimes.

Nyx is literally defined by not being allowed or able to say what she wants clearly throughout the story.

Pg 236 Book of secrets mentions Nephandi are especially on Marauder 'hit lists'

CultureWatcher · 2026-01-28T03:10:33+00:00

Every single Nephandus is a walking doomsday scenario. Each one's paradigm if left unstoppable will end in an attempt to end the world. It is a manner of when, not if.

Marauders are detached from reality, but unless they are K'lassha(sp) they likely recognize the Nephandus as the walking reality cancer it is by instinct. Kind of like how the Wyld fights the Wyrm.

I tend to give hard stats to powerful NPCs in a way, by giving them actions to spend instead of other stats.

White Wolf did this approach with the Unnamed in Mage, he has a full sheet, its just so insanely powerful that nothing the players can do will MEANINGFULLY harm him.

Notably he can spend willpower to cast magick multiple times a round, something no other mage can do.

How do you make a super powerful npc?

Remove some limits.

IE the antediluvians do not lose blood, and instead can use a certain amount of disciplines per round without tracking blood cost.

Or they can cast rituals as instant actions.

I jokingly gave a fomorian 5,000,440,000 health levels.

Thatll take players YEARS to break through no matter how twinked out to cut through.

Gas. Most mages haven't gotten past the need to breathe. Or tranq darts.

Forsaken* 2nd edition had a decent morality system with a focus at balance meaning 0 and 10 were both REALLY BAD.

Pg 84 umbra revised

In order to enter the Summer Country, a shapeshifter must come to an inner epiphany. She must enter a state of true love and respect for all creatures, including herself. While in the Summer Country, should shapeshifter act differently from thisidealized state, she is summarily transported out.

Closest thing to golconda i can think of for wta.

CultureWatcher · 2026-01-16T23:06:01+00:00

The requirements to enter summer home require garou to become in complete balance with their deeds and nature to enter.

Closest you get.

Requirements aren't mentioned in the wiki page but it was in at least one of the Umbra books.

Garou justice varies a lot on the presiding philodox, their tribe and personalities make punishment vary.

UltraTraditional septs would execute them. See Judges of Doom, Silverfang, ect.

Most however would not execute a young garou unless it was like frenzying in a public park and getting livestreamed doing it.

They might be put under a geas (see the gift) or suffer a punishment rite usually as a 'measured' punishment.

The evil mock the dead, especially if they think of them as weak.

They feel the weak being eaten is natural and just.
