Big Joe Magarac (WTA)

Honey Badger, is a totem.

Overview
‘Big Joe Magarac’ is a figure of Pittsburgh folklore, a literal man of steel born to help the immigrant steelworkers of the city. His only joy was in working as long and hard as he could and helping his ‘brothers’ in the factories. The ‘character’ has popped up in the stories of workers all along the Rust Belt but the City Father knows his true home is in Pittsburgh. He usually appears as a muscular 9-foot tall man made of living steel with an accent suggestive of non-specific Slavic extraction. He’s good-natured, honest and generous and respects few things more than a hard worker.

Traits & Ban

 * Background Cost: 6

Traits

 * Individual: Big Joe’s ‘co-workers’ can call upon a version of the Homid (breed) Gift: Reshape Object with the limitation that they can only affect steel, iron, or some related alloy. In Big Joe’s version of the gift, the roll is Strength + Crafts instead of Manipulation. Glass Walkers and Bone Gnawers gain one point of temporary Wisdom Renown when accepted by Big Joe, but members of other tribes lose one temporary Honor. Also, he may on occasion offer warnings of impending danger, either directly or through a messenger.
 * Pack: Joe’s packs each receive three additional dice to any Streetwise tests relevant to Pittsburgh.

Ban
Joe Magarac insists that his packs remain busy. Garou following him are expected to volunteer for whatever work needs to be done and cannot take time away from their assigned duties unless ordered by a superior.
