Caelene/Ananasi

Forms

• True Forms - Homid, Pithus
• DBT form - Lillan
• Other form (gained through Charms) - Crawlerling
  • Many Forms As One (Prerequisites: Humble Mouse Shape, Essence 3, Stamina 4) - This somewhat disturbing Knack allows a Lunar to break his form down into a pile of small animals, usually rodents or insects. Ten of the creatures are considered the leaders; inside these ten are the intellect and memories of the Lunar. The rest, which equal the Lunar's Essence times 100 in number, will follow the commands of the leaders. While in swarm form, the Lunar's Dexterity is increased to 6; attackers trying to get to the leaders have a -4 to their pool due to the mass of creatures they have to fight through. If the swarm is damaged before the Lunar reforms, the Lunar retains the damage once back in one piece. If a number of creatures equal to (total creatures divided by total health levels) are killed, the Lunar takes 1L which can be healed normally.

Blood and Gnosis

• Can regain Essence from blood, ala Abyssals (expend 3 motes for fangs in Homid, use natural fangs in other forms)
  • Mortals - One Blood Point converts to one mote
  • Other Supernaturals - One Blood Point converts to motes equal to the victim's Essence

Aspects and Factions

• Aspects
  • With the balance between the Triat restored (albeit forcefully), the Ananasi no longer need to perform the roles that those beings have forsaken. Thus, the aspects fade, although the rank markings left by Queen Ananasa remain as part of the Ananasi's Tell
• Factions
  • Unlike the aspects, the factions remain, as they are geared toward certain tasks.
  • For purposes of Caste animas, treat Myrmidons as Full-Moons, Viskrs as No-Moons and Wyrstas as Changing-Moons

• Image of the Great Mother (level 5 Myrmidon, pg. 93) – Replaced by Mother Spider’s Form (Deadly Beastman Transformation, Devastating Ogre Enhancement; Essence 5, Stamina 5). This Knack is only available to those of the Ananasi breed. The Lunar’s Deadly Beastman Form doubles in size, mutating into a creature with four spider-like legs and four human-like arms, chitinous armor covering its body. The head grows eight glowing red eyes, and has two huge fangs in place of the mouth, dripping a virulent poison. While in this form, the player adds four to his physical attributes (on top of what DBT usually gives), two to his perception, and gains bladed hands that act as Claws of the Silver Moon. All those looking upon the Lunar must make a difficulty 4 Valor check or run screaming from the room. The knack lasts one scene or until the Ananasi shifts once more. After the knack is used, the character is forced into her spider form, and cannot shift back for a week.

Webspinning

• Basic webbing
  • 3 motes for enough to cover a doorway
  • Can be done in forms with Spinnerets mutation (Affliction)
  • Soak of 2B/0L, HL -0x1, -1x2, -2x1, -4x1, Destroyed
• Safety Line
  • Line has a soak of 4B/2L, length between 3 and 15 feet, able to support x2 weight of Lunar making it
• Specialty webbing (can be bought for 1 BP or 2 XP; 3 motes for same amount as basic webbing)
  • Iron Web - This webbing is sturdy as steel, with a soak equal to it's creator's and an additional 5 HLs after that. It can last for months if properly cared for.
  • Razor Webs - Every 3 motes spent on this type of webbing makes enough to cover a DBT-sized form. If placed on a doorway or something of the like, it remains until it takes six levels of lethal damage; those who brush up against it take at least 1L, more if they run into it. If used on a living target, any motion uses the victim's Strength to damage them when they try to break free of the webbing.
  • Slick Webs - These webs are almost completely frictionless, causing a 3-die penalty to a difficulty 3 Dexterity + Athletics roll to stay standing.
  • Web of Smoke - Upon being touched, the web bursts into a cloud of thick black smoke. Those who fail a difficulty 3 Stamina + Resistance roll go into a fit of vomiting lasting (the Ananasi's Essence) turns.
  • Web Sheet - Soak of the webbing is 10B/7L. Players may add an additional 2B/lL for each additional 3 motes they spend.

Rites

NB: Ananasi Lunars can access Rites if they possess the Terrestrial or Celestial Circle Sorcery Charms. Rank 1-3 rites fall under Terrestrial, while 4-5 fall under Celestial.

• Spinning (level 1, pg. 96) - Roll remains the same; spend 15 motes for webbing. Each success on the roll above the difficulty increases the number of motes regained while inside the Sylie by one.
• Studying the Great Web (level 1, pg. 98) - Roll Charisma + Occult difficulty 2; works as written otherwise
• Summon Paradox (level 1, pg. 98) - Difficulty of Wits + Occult roll is 3; works as written otherwise.
• Recorder (level 2, pg. 96) - Roll Charisma + Occult diff 2 for the rite; spend 3 motes for the webbing.
• Rite of Appeal (level 2, pg. 96) - Spend 10 motes and roll Charisma + Occult difficulty 3; rite works as written otherwise.
• Tapping Ananasa's Wisdom (level 2, pg. 96) - Roll Charisma + Occult diff 2; the Ananasi, rather than learning a new Gift, may use this connection to the Queen Mother to gain one bit of information about a subject.

• Guardians (level 3, pg. 96) - Spend 6 motes for each guardian created; each guardian has physical stats equal to half of those they had in life, rounded up.
