Bear (WTA)

Bear Mighty Bear has suffered much.

Overview
His children, the Okuma, were slain in the Fourth Age (cWOD), and the Fifth Age (cWOD) has seen numberless monkeys opening poison rents in the land he loves so well. He is a wise master of many rites, but his anger often rises in his breast, and then he smashes boulders and topples trees in his rage. The Sentai (WTA) he chooses are treated with respect, but are often quietly overlooked, as their presence is a reminder of the shameful fate of the Okuma.

Traits
Bear's children gain three dice to Medicine dice pools and may hibernate for up to three months at a time without need for food or drink. Each sentai member's Strength is permanently increased by one, and each may use the Gift: Mother's Touch once per day. Finally, when a sentai member is wounded for the first time in any combat, all her packmates immediately gain two temporary Rage (WTA). However, Bear's Eastern children must subtract one from any temporary Glory rewards they receive, due to the collective shame of the Courts.

Ban
Bear forbids his children to strike other Hengeyokai with claw, beak or fang, fearing that another race will be lost as were his first children. Even the Kumo are included in this ban, although Bear doesn't prohibit his children from using Gifts or weapons against their enemies. Cost: 5.
