Technology is a set of Gifts granted to the Forsaken by spirits of machines and electricity. These Gifts provide ways to interact with high-tech devices and use them to best advantage. They are the affinity of the Iron Masters, but werewolves of other tribes also find them quite useful, especially those in urban territories.
First Edition[]
Powers[]
Left-Handed Spanner: temporarily disables a machine or device.- Nightfall: extinguish all artificial light sources in an area.
- Iron Treachery: cause a machine or device to rebel against its user.
- Maschinegeist: merge with the spirit of a machine or device.
- Create Technology: turn raw materials into a completely tool, machine, or device.
Second Edition[]
Powers[]
- Garble (Cunning): Modern technology is supposed to help, not to hinder. The Uratha with this Facet can turn it against its user, a frightening experience for those who rely on humankind's ingenuity.
- Unmake (Glory): With a snarled command, the Uratha condemns a device to self-destruction.
- Command Artifice (Honor): A mere whisper with this Facet, threaded with urging Essence, and technology leaps to comply.
- Shutdown (Purity): This Facet turns the modern landscape into the perfect hunting ground. It denies the prey any sanctuary offered by light or surveillance.
- Iron Slave (Wisdom): This Facet forces even snarling beasts of iron and gears to heel and to beat the Uratha's spirit.
New Gifts: Gift of Technology[]
In the period of the Vikings, the nature and definition of modern technology is constantly shifting and advancing. This Gift replaces that found on p. 133 of Werewolf: The Forsaken Second Edition.
- Hush (Cunning): In times of peril, monastic communities sound bells to alert their members and give them a chance to flee. With this facet, the Uratha can deny this and other such warnings and fall upon unsuspecting prey.
- Unmake (Glory): Growling an obscenity, the Uratha drives a complex object to self-destruction.
- Balance the Scales (Honor): A statement of reliability and trusty craftsmanship inspires the technology to perform its duty admirably.
- Gutter (Purity): Fire allowed humans to rise above the other apes, and this Facet reminds them why they fear the dark, denying the prey the comfort or security granted by firelight.
- Iron Minions (Wisdom): This Facet coaxes assistance and communication from the user's chosen currency. In an age where contracts and financial paperwork are non-existent, this Facet allows its user to literally follow the money.
