Choose Concept, Breed, Triat affiliation and aspect

  • Set "Faction" to None.
    • If you take the "Good Reputation" Merit, then set a +note for which faction it applies with and staff will set a global lock exemption.
  • Set "Aspect" based on your cabal, e.g. "Secean / Tenere Myrmidon"
Tenere Hatar Kumoti
Myrmidon Secean Agere Kar
Viskr Plicare Anomia Amari Aliquid
Wyrsta Gaderin Malum Chymos
  • Attributes: 7/5/3
  • Abilities: 13/9/5
  • Backgrounds: 5
    • All Ananasi have Queen Ananasa as their Totem for free (+3 Occult +2 Enigmas while meditating in Sylie), may spend points on Totem background for additional abilities
    • Ananasi do not have access to Past Life or Pure Breed
    • Arachnids cannot buy Contacts or Resources except with freebies
  • Fetishes taken in Chargen must be in a book somewhere --- you can't make your own. Create a +note for your fetish, including a page reference for the book that it is from.
  • Rites (background) can only be taken in Chargen. Must also have Rituals (the Primary Knowledge) at the same level as the highest Rite. You can choose rites that equal the sum of the level of the Rites (background). For Example: Rites (background) at level 4, you can choose a Level 1 Rite and a Level 3 Rite. You must also set your Rituals at 3. Or you can choose to take 4 Rites that are all Level 1, and only need Rituals at 1.

Note: See XP Chart for details on ways to learn Rites both for XP and without XP cost once approved.

  • Gifts: 3 (one general, one faction, one aspect)
    • General: Many Eyes, Stolen Moments, Balance, Bind, Jump, Resist Pain, Resist Toxin, Web Haven, Web of Smoke

      • Tenere: Groom, Patience of Ananasa
      • Hatar: Blood of Pain, Wyrmling Kinship

      • Myrmidon: Illusion of Size, Open Seal
      • Viskr: Curse of the Great Web, Shroud, Scent of Sweet Honey

  • Renown: Tenere = Obedience 3, Hatar = Cunning 3, Kumoti = Wisdom 3
  • Gnosis: Homid = 1, Arachnid = 5
  • Willpower: Homid = 3, Arachnid = 4


All Ananasi are assumed to know Rite of Spinning (level 1) and Tapping Ananasa's Wisdom (level 2) for free, but must still have an equal/greater level of the Rituals knowledge to actually perform them.
