Medium weapons (swords, grand klaives) can sustain two agg, and two-handed weapons require three agg to be destroyed. Glass Walkers Control Complex Machine- this gift can never affect fetishes. Doppelganger- the static difficulty for this challenge is your likenessâ€™ social traits + Expression. Since you donâ€™t pick up their mannerisms and personal quirks, close associates may call for a Mental vs. Social, retest Investigation/Performance, to determine that something is amiss. They must have a good reason to call for this challenge (Bob would never eat a cheeseburger!). Red Talons Beastmind- Offensive: Empathy Defensive: Leadership Curse of Lycaon- should a Garou be affected by this power, they will still change to Crinos or Hispo form when frenzying.
