Stellar Moon is a set of Auspice Gifts for the Stellar Moon auspice, Namm-Dar, from Signs of the Moon.
These Gifts are not rolled as traditional Gifts are. They are considered successful when activated. Each of these Gifts can only be activated once per scene.
Powers[]
Adaptation: The basic art of the Nammunim gives the Namm-Dar a flash of insight where otherwise there would be none. A squeamish computer programmer could improvise basic first aid, having no real experience with medicine. This spark of brilliance is very brief, and affords no lone-term knowledge. Note that this Gift does not allow for exhibitions of rare or obscure knowledge, the ability offered is purely Skill-related. A computer-illiterate Namm-Dar might be able to find a security glitch if presented with compiled code, but an hour later if a packmate asked her to explain what she pointed out; she would be at a loss for words.- Focus: Sometimes, basic skill is not enough. A nurse is no surgeon; a baseball player is not a swimmer. With this blessing, an Uratha of the stellar moon can draw upon the specific knowledge of a field, enabling greater success in what may have otherwise been a mundane skill. Upon expending the Essence to fuel the Gift, the Uratha finds himself far more capable in one field, inspired and competent.
- Optimal Conditions: Often, the difference between victory and loss is the difference between desirable and poor conditions. Typically, one does not choose conditions, but with this Gift, their negative impact can be overlooked.
- Dedication: The most successful actions are those taken with passion and drive. Sometimes, willingness and desire made or break an attempt. With this blessing, the Namm-Dar acts with that devotion consistently, without true intense personal investment.
- Mastery: When the best take action, the world takes notice. A true virtuoso moves crowds, inspires cultures, and awes the competition. The Namm-dar awarded with this pinnacle blessing can tap into that level of excellence temporarily. She can crack a safe with a ball-point pen or sing a song that brings her listeners to tears. For better or for worse, the degree of acumen this Gift grants never goes unnoticed. When a kid from the suburbs does a perfect Paganini, people ask questions. The Uratha had best be careful in her use of this Gift, lest she draw unwanted attention.
