* All Bastet possess an affinity for Sorcery, which they call "Shadow Craft." However, only the Bubasti, Ceilican, and Qualmi practice it habitually.  Other tribes, such as the Simba, actively shun knowledge of sorcery (until they need it).  Bastet Sorcerers may learn any path of Sorcery, but Bubasti favor Alchemy, Cursing, Enchantment, Ephemera, Spirit Control (from the Wraith supplement ''The Quick and the Dead,'' this path may not be approved for use at CoH), and Summoning/Binding/Warding.  Celican favored Alchemy (with an emphasis on Herbalism), Conjuration, Cursing, Enchantment, and healing.  Those of the tribe who have fallen may favor darker arts.  Qualmi favor Alchemy (again with an emphasis on herbalism), Healing, and Spirit Control. (''Bastet'' pg. 94)

Bastet do not engage in acts of ritual, communal magic with anywhere near the same frequency as the Garou.  However, they do have formidable ritual knowledge for when necessity and occasion demand greater works.  Bastet divide their rituals into the following categories:

'''Kuasha Rites:''' Bastet generally learn most or all of these rites before the completion of their First Year (reaching Rank 1). They are considered necessary for a werecat to function as an "adult" member of the tribe.

'''Moon Rites:''' Bastet must perform these rituals under the light of the moon. Their difficulty is affected by the moon phase and weather; moon rites performed during inclement weather become more difficult (unless the purpose of the ritual is to control the weather), while Bastet believe performing these rites under the full moon makes them easier and more powerful. Bastet perform these rituals in solitude, and will hunt down and kill those who trespass upon a moon rite.  Those spying on the lunar rites of the Bastet must make a Stamina + Enigmas roll once or twice during the ceremony (difficulty of 5 + the level of the Rite) or suffer some malediction. Humans may grow violently ill or panic, vampires and werewolves might frenzy, and mages might suffer a bout of temporary quiet. (''Bastet'' pg. 120)

'''Rites of Need:''' These Rites are less elaborate than other Bastet rituals (they generally take 5-10 minutes on average), because, as a rule, the werecat who uses them needs their effects ASAP rather than in a few hours.

Like the Garou, the Bastet are divided into tribes.  Like the Garou, Bastet acknowledge a universal renown and ranking system from youngling to elder.  Unlike the Garou, there is no "Bastet Nation."  Hierarchy among the werecats varies from tribe to tribe and tends to be loose in any case, but unlike the other Fera the Bastet have retained their ancient glyphic script. There are nine tribes of werecats, each with its felid roots in different species:
−
* 1: Jamak Promise Bond (''Bastet'' pg. 122)
 
−
* 3: Rite of Fear (''Bastet'' pg. 122)
 
  
−
'''Taghairm Rites:''' The Baster equivalent of Moot Rites, these rituals are used when werecats gather.
+
* '''[[Bagheera]]:''' The leopard-men of Africa and India, heirs to twin gifts of wisdom and savage might.
 +
* '''[[Balam]]:''' Jaguar warriors of Central and South America.
 +
* '''[[Bubasti]]:''' Shadowy mystics, ancient foes of a lineage of vampire sorcerers.
 +
* '''[[Ceilican]]:''' Fae-cats of Europe, believed to be destroyed.
 +
* '''[[Khan]]:''' Tiger-warriors, whose once proud Sultanates lie in ruins.
 +
* '''[[Pumonca]]:''' Dusty wanderers who roam North America in Puma and man-guise.
 +
* '''[[Qualmi]]:''' Practitioners of old American magics in Lynx-skin.
 +
* '''[[Simba]]:''' Call them Dark Kings or the Lords of Sunlight, the Lions' star is in the ascendant at last.
 +
* '''[[Swara]]:''' Cheetah-men of Africa, wary and elusive and gifted with spiritual power.

Bastet are solo operators as a rule.  Group totems are downright rare among the werecats (with the exception of Simba prides).  However, it is very common for Bastet to engage in personal totemic pacts with powerful spirits.  Bastet call these patrons "Jamak." Whereas Garou tend to revere archetypes, Jamak tend to be more individualized aspects of a totem.

The following Garou totems are especially appropriate Jamak:

'''Ban:''' Bonyscrap is a vulgar, dirty bird.  His only demand is that Bastet who seek his wisdom tolerate his rude behavior, love of roadkill and rotted meat, and stench with aplomb.  (''Bastet'' pg. 140)

Overview

Like the Garou, the Bastet are divided into tribes. Like the Garou, Bastet acknowledge a universal renown and ranking system from youngling to elder. Unlike the Garou, there is no "Bastet Nation." Hierarchy among the werecats varies from tribe to tribe and tends to be loose in any case, but unlike the other Fera the Bastet have retained their ancient glyphic script. There are nine tribes of werecats, each with its felid roots in different species:

  • Bagheera: The leopard-men of Africa and India, heirs to twin gifts of wisdom and savage might.
  • Balam: Jaguar warriors of Central and South America.
  • Bubasti: Shadowy mystics, ancient foes of a lineage of vampire sorcerers.
  • Ceilican: Fae-cats of Europe, believed to be destroyed.
  • Khan: Tiger-warriors, whose once proud Sultanates lie in ruins.
  • Pumonca: Dusty wanderers who roam North America in Puma and man-guise.
  • Qualmi: Practitioners of old American magics in Lynx-skin.
  • Simba: Call them Dark Kings or the Lords of Sunlight, the Lions' star is in the ascendant at last.
  • Swara: Cheetah-men of Africa, wary and elusive and gifted with spiritual power.

Notes

  • Bastet do not have the innate ability to step sideways. This is learned via a level 4 gift, Walking Between Worlds. Swara may learn this as a level 2 gift. (Players Guide to the Changing Breeds pg. 65)
  • Swara may learn most Theurge gifts as Tribal gifts. (Bastet pg. 117)

Sorcery

All Bastet possess an affinity for Sorcery, which they call "Shadow Craft." However, only the Bubasti, Ceilican, and Qualmi practice it habitually. Other tribes, such as the Simba, actively shun knowledge of sorcery (until they need it). (Bastet pg. 94)

Bastet Sorcerers may learn any path of Sorcery, but they favor the following:

  • All: Alchemy (Herbalism)
  • Bubasti: Enchantment, Fortune, and Summoning/Binding/Warding.
  • Ceilican: Conjuration, Enchantment, Fortune, and Healing.
  • Qualmi: Healing.
