| Benevolent Domitor | 3 | Ghoul | WW2021 | Synopsis: For whatever reason, your domitor is actually rather fond of you. Perhaps your service has been exemplary, or perhaps you simply remind him of someone in his past - given the alien nature of the vampire mind, you may never know for sure.

System: Even if there are 60 Garou at a moot, a Corax with this Merit has merely to make a successful Wits+Awareness roll (difficulty 7) to pick out the proper (read: most interesting; this can be translated as "most important to the ongoing plot") target to follow.

| Boon | 1-6 | Social | WW2302 | Synopsis: Someone owes you a favor. The vampire in your debt might be the lowliest neonate in the city or might be the Prince herself; it all depends on how many points the Merit costs. You only have that single favor owed you (unless you take the Merit multiple times), so using it properly is of paramount importance. Depending on status and other factors, the vampire who owes you a favor may well resent his debt, and might go out of his way to “settle” it early — even going so far as to create situations from which he must “rescue” you and thus clear the slate. System: Consult Staff regarding Boon system, read book for more information. |
| Bright | ? | ? | WW6007 | Synopsis: System: |
| Bright Hue | 5 | Supernatural | WW21001 | Synopsis: Using pigment may have ruined (and ultimately, stolen) your life, but despite the odds it did not adversely affect you in the afterlife.

| Broken Bond | 4 | Social | WW2302 | Synopsis: You were once blood-bound but have secretly slipped the leash, and you are free to act as you will once more. Your regnant has no idea that you are not in fact bound, and continues to treat you as if you were. At Storyteller discretion, the experience of having been bound once may render you immune to ever being enthralled again. Notes: Sabbat vampires cannot take this Merit. |
| Bruiser | 1 | Physical | WW2302 | Synopsis: Your appearance is sufficiently thug-like to inspire fear (or at least disquiet) in those who see you. While you’re not necessarily ugly, you do radiate a quiet menace, to the point where people cross the street to avoid passing near you. System: All Intimidation rolls against those who have not demonstrated their physical superiority to you are at -1 difficulty. |
| Bullyboy | 2 | Social | WW2302 | Synopsis: You’re part of the brute squad the local Sheriff or Bishop calls on when he needs some muscle. As a result, you get in on action that others miss entirely, score points with those in power, and occasionally get a chance to act outside of the law.

| Clan Friendship | 4 | Social | WW2302 | Synopsis: One particular Clan (not your own) has a special liking for you. You might have done the Clan as a whole a favor at some point, or perhaps you’re just a loud voice in support of their aims. System: Whatever the case, you’re at -2 difficulty on all friendly Social rolls involving members of the Clan in question. Of course, the reaction your cozy relationship with another Clan is likely to draw from your own Clan leaders is an entirely different can of worms. |

| Danger Sense | 2 | Supernatural | WW2206 WW3108 |
Synopsis: You have a sixth sense that warns you of danger. When you are in danger, the Storyteller should make a secret roll against your Perception + Alertness; the difficulty depends on the remoteness of the danger. If the roll succeeds, the Storyteller tells you that you have a sense of foreboding. Multiple successes may refine the feeling and give an indivation of direction, distance or nature. Notes: This Merit is more reliable and specific than the Level One Auspex power; the two can be combined to create an even more potent warning system. |
| Daredevil | 3 | Physical | WW2300 WW4600 |
Synopsis: You are good at taking risks, and even better at surviving them. System: When attempting exceptionally risky actions (such as leaping from one moving car to another), characters with this Merit add an additional three dice to their rolls, and negate a single botch die that may result from such a roll.

System: This requires a turn of concentration and a successful perception + alertness vs 7 . With Darksight active, you may view pitch-black darkness as though it were brightly and uniformly lit, while torches cast a radiance that obscures perception in the manner that darkness interferes with normal senses. The significance of colors likewise inverts, lending a surreal hue to the world without interfering with your ability to separate hues.

| Dreams Of The Past | ? | ? | WW8202 | Synopsis: System: |
| Dual Nature | 2 | Social | WW2206 | Synopsis: You have two distinct Nature, both of which have an influence on your personality and behavior. When you pick these Natures, be careful to choose Archetypes that are somewhat compatible. Dual Nature does not mean schizophrenia (that is a Derangement).

Notes: Set the other nature in a +note. |

Maybe your early years contained so much strife or upheavals that your change catapulted you directly into another Auspice, skipping the "playful" stage of your development as a Gurahl. System: Whatever the details, your character begins as either an Uzmati, a Kojubat, a Kieh, or a Rishi. This Merit differs from the Merit: Rip Van Winkle since the Gurahl character is not one of the newly awakened old ones but is, in fact, a recent addition to the ranks of werebears. In addition, the character must choose her beginning Auspice Gift from the auspice she begins play with. (For example, a beginning Kojubat Gurahl with the Merit: Early Maturation must start play with a Level 1 Kojubat Auspice gift rather than Level 1 Gifts available to Arcas or Uzmati.) |

| Faerie Eternity | ? | ? | WW7300 | Synopsis: System: |
| Faint Reflection | 2 | Supernatural | WW2062 | Synopsis: Some Lasombra have somehow mastered the art of actually producing a Faint Reflection. Those with this talent can actually appear in mirrors, albeit in extremely pale, ghostly guises. Objects moving behind a Lasombra casting a faint reflection will be clearly seen through her form. However, often even a faint reflection is enough to allay the suspicions of kine or Camarilla. Book Ref: Clanbook Lasombra (1st Edition), pg.#33 |
| Fair Glabro | ? | ? | WW3806 | Synopsis: System: |

| Fast Charger | 2 | Supernatural | WW21001 | Synopsis: Projectors only. Just merging with your body for 20 minutes is enough to completely recharge your Vitality.

Book Ref: Orpheus: Crusade of Ashes, pg.#84 |
| Fearlessness | ? | Mental | WW4802 | Synopsis: They might as well call you (Your Name Here) the Lionheart, because you don't fear shit. System: |

This doesn't apply to threats of brute force, although grace may be intimidating in its own way, and may offer a small bonus to Cleverness or Honor Renown. |

While that sort of estimation may seem insulting, it’s also what’s kept you from being killed. No one considers you worth their time to deal with, and that low opinion keeps you safe. If you start acting in a way that demonstrates that you are no longer harmless, others’ reactions to you will likely change as a result. Book Ref: Guide to the Camarilla, pg. #75 |

| Hearing The Buzz | 3 | Supernatural | WW21001 | Synopsis: Normally, the hive-mind shared by Spectres remains inaccessible to either ghosts or projectors, but for unknown reasons (and much to your chagrin) you hear the warped, chattering network of Spectre thoughts. System: When Spectres are within 100 feet of you, you may roll Perception + Empathy to eavesdrop on the Spectral "conversations," though the material is intent and sense actions and events rather than hearing Spectres converse. When these "transmissions" are really powerful (between Spectres of Spite rather 6+) or nearby, you must spend a Willpower point to keep the hive-mind from absorbing your thoughts. This means the Spectres are instantly aware of your presence and actively seek you out. |

System: Players should work with the Storyteller to define the mark, whether it is a particular tint of the eyes, an actual discoloration of skin or something more exotic. All such marks are within the bounds of natural possibility and/or easily concealed, ensuring that mortals do not automatically suspect your undead nature.

| Nexus | 3 - 5 | Supernatural | WW21001 | Synopsis: Only one character can normally help another with a Horror's Benefits, but in your presence, several crucible members can stack their Benefits for one recipient. System: At three points, characters can stack two Benefits, at four points the characters can stack three Benefits, and at five points, the character stacks four characters' Benefits. Please note that the character with Nexus cannot perform any other action when acting as Nexus, nor can he split the effect between different donors and recipients in that one turn. Instead, the Nexus acts as a focal point whereby two or more characters channel their Benefits through him, and he, in turn, channels the combined effect into the recipient. This Merit makes you very important to your crucible, but if the others grow too accustomed to your presence, they may rely on you for too heavily. Also, bear in mind that stacking two Benefits means four members of the crucible are not focused on one attack. Better make that attack count. |

Powers the require multiple turns to activate still require the usual duration - the change simply occurs without conscious direction.

Notes: Only characters with at least one dot of Vicissitude may purchase this Merit. |
| Prophetic Ability | 4 | Supernatural | WW2020 WW4010 |
Synopsis: God speaks to you in signs and portents, visions and images. Some visions may be precognitive, while others might be warnings or advice. You can not request or induce a prophetic vision; they come on their own. These visions will range from the obvious to the symbolic; the exact nature and effect of the visions is up to the Storyteller. This Merit should provide dramatic moments, and players should not come to rely upon them for plot resolution. Book Ref: The Inquisition, pg.#58 |

You know you are a Gurahl, and you remember some of the Gifts and rites you used to know, but the rest lies buried in the fog of time. On the up side, theres a strange and wonderful world outside just waiting for you to tackle it head on. It's like a second cubhood in many ways. Maybe this time, you can get it right (whatever "it" is).
System: "Beginning the game with this Merit allows the player to create a beginning Gurahl with an auspice other than Arcas. It also gives the new character a wider choice of beginning Auspice Gifts (though she is still limited in the number of Gifts she can begin play with).

| Strong Claws | 4 | Corax | WW3077 | Synopsis: Birds' claws contract automatically when they sleep, allowing them to keep a grip all night long on whatever perch they've achieved. You can apply that sort of grip whenever you want, making it nigh-impossible to pull something from your grasp if you really want to hang on to it. System: If you decide that you absolutely need to keep something in your grasp, you get an extra 3 dice of Strength to use if anyone tries to take the item away from you. This Gift can also be used when hanging onto window ledges, cliffs, tree branches, and so on for dear life, or when trying to haul dangling victims back to safety from such perilous locales. |

Synopsis: You have a deep-seated faith in and love for God, or whatever name you choose to call the Almighty. System: You begin the game with one point of True Faith (see p. 272); this Trait adds one die per point to all Willpower and Virtue rolls. You must have a Humanity of 9 or higher to choose this Merit, and if you lose even a single point, all your Faith points are lost and may be regained only when the lost Hunaity is recovered. individuals with True Faith are capable of performing magical acts akin to miracles, but the exact nature of those acts is up to the Storyteller. |
| True Love | 4 | Supernatural | WW2300 WW3108 |
Synopsis: You have discovered, perhaps too late, a true love. He or she is the center of your existence, and inspires you to keep going in a world of darkness and despair. Whenever you suffer, the thought of your true love gives you the strength to persevere. System: This Merit grants you one automatic success on all Willpower rolls, which can be negated only by a botch die. This can be a great gift but also a hindrance, for your true love may require protection and occasionally rescue. |

| Umbral Affinity | 3 | Gurahl | WW3079 | Synopsis: Unlike most Gurahl, you do not have to physically rend the Gauntlet to enter the Umbra. Like the Garou, you are able to step sideways without having to rely on the use of a rite. System: You need only concentrate on a reflective surface in order to pass through the Gauntlet. |

| Unbondable | 3 | Vampire | WW2021 WW2300 |
Synopsis: You cannot be Blood Bound to a vampire, no matter how often you drink from his veins. This Merit is obviously very useful for one whose powers depend on vitae, and its cost is accordingly high for ghoul characters. Book Ref: Ghouls Fatal Addiction, pg.#84 |

| Useful Knowledge | 1 | Mental | WW2302 | Synopsis: You have expertise in a specific field that makes your conversation intriguing to an older Kindred. So long as your knowledge holds the other vampire’s attention, he has a vested interest in keeping you around. Then again, once he’s pumped you for every iota of information you possess, that patronage may suddenly vanish. (Note: This Merit should be played like a 1-dot Mentor with a specific interest. However, unlike a Mentor, Useful Knowledge does not imply a permanent relationship.) Book Ref: Guide to the Camarilla, pg.#74 |

| Venerable | 2 | Rokea | WW3083 | Synopsis: You've been swimming the seas for a long time. You haven't garnered any Renown because you haven't really done much, but for whatever reason, you've decided to take a more active role in Rokea society. System: You may begin play with dots in Linguistics, Occult, Seafaring, Etiquette, or Politics (no more than 2 dots in any of these Abilities, and probably not all five). While you begin with the same amount of Renown as other Rokea, your age gives you some respect (-1 Social difficulties with younger Rokea) |

| Virulent Strike | 7 | Ghoul | WW2021 | Synopsis: Through strange Thaumaturgical sorcery, unknown rituals or even an odd quirk of your ghoul physiognomy, you have been imbued with the power of the supernatural. System: You can cause aggravated damage to supernatural creatures by striking them, biting them, raking them with bonecrafted spurs - whatever. This is considered standard Brawl damage against mortals, and should normally apply to only one attack form (bite, bone claws,etc.). You should work with the Storyteller to find an explanation for this Merit, and the Storyteller may disallow this Merit entirely if she so chooses. |
