@Meg Gnosis is a very expensive stat to raise that forms the dice pool for some supernatural abilities and the resource pool you spend for others. It represents how connected to the quote-unquote natural world you are, so werewolves who were born with two legs and nipples have less, while werewolves born with four legs and six nipples have more.
-
@Meg Gnosis is spiritual energy used by Shifters in oWoD, and power stat for mages in nWoD iirc.
Essentially it goes like this:
Human born shifters start with 1 (nearly all the time for every species barring extremely rare outliers) because humans are not in sync with Gaia, Spirits, and other levels of being generally.
Metis (Shifters born of two shifters) start with a 3, because they’re born in the monstrous war form, and can’t exist in polite society, and have to be raised by either really patient (and brave) kinfolk, or by a community of shifters.
Lupus, aka animal born, start with 5 as they are in sync with nature and themselves because, animals.
Metis have deformities and are sterile.
Lupus lose access to a plethora of abilities and backgrounds in general.
So there is some measure of balance.
And what @GF said
-
@Testament I lol’d. Also it is delicious.
-
@GF wait, so does that mean Sundance was basically telling these appers ‘hey, you wanna be born with more nipples? that’s the incentive i’m offering you’.

That checks out, yes.
-
@GF I always knew that nipples were magic and having more of them would make me a sorceress.
lol lmao
-
@Herja Trust me, after feeding your evil black cat familiar twice, you’ll be grateful you have more places for it to feed from so your other nipples can heal between meals.
-
@GF I also need save one for Satan. He gets his own special nipple.
lol lmao
-
@Herja Yeah, yeah, the Satan teat we’ve all seen it.
-
@Pavel That Satan, he’ll show his nipple to anyone, such a hussy.

This checks out with Werewolf: the Forsaken 2e, since the wolf-blooded (no longer JUST breeding stock!) can spontaneously grow a third nipple that you milk majikul energy out of.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

@Jennkryst I have never had a strong desire to play WoD until this exact moment. I’m sold.
lol lmao
-
@Herja @Jennkryst My favorite 2e wolfblood merit is second skin where you are born with this sentient fur blanket. You can’t really be away from it too long I think. I always liked the idea of freaking people out, leaving it on random furniture etc. “Oh that? It’s just her birth fur blanket. It breathes and has a heartbeat but don’t worry, it doesn’t bite.”

Too bad when a post is deleted, it doesn’t delete the notification that someone mentioned/replied to you.

@Mourne I was in the middle of reading it when it was deleted. I think they were saying something about Gnosis only being expensive at CG, but I didn’t have time to read it all, so I don’t know if they thought it was relevant to my joke about nipples equating to Gnosis or what.
-
@GF Haha Gnosis only expensive at CG, which is when freebie points are the most powerful thing in the game, cuz merits ARE expensive, as is so many other things…
Wow.
Just wow.

So, in nWoD 2e/CoD/God Machine/whatever you choose to call it, you can opt to upgrade a normal failure into a critical failure, for XP.
Tangentially related to that, if you critically fail a willpower roll when resisting Lunacy (the OH SHIT THAT IS A WEREWOLF IT WANTS TO EAT ME roll to not shit your pants), congratulations, something something spirit energy something something latent DNA something you are now a Wolf-blooded.
I think you can also be born one? I dunno.
I am almost positive that pre-first change Werewolves are still counted as Wolf-blooded, and they got rid of Metis/Lupus of oWoD and Spirit Children of nWoD 1e, so Werewolf/Werewolf pairings can produce Wolf-blooded children (who can later first change).
They also went full Lunar Exalted and added the gender bending power so babies for everyone if you want. Or not.
Anyway, back to the point, when you become a Wolf-blooded, you get a Tell. One of them is aformentioned Third Nipple, which creates a point of Essence (the Mana/Blood equivalent for Werewolves/spitits) that can be milked out every so often.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!
