Urban Fetishes

Urban Fetishes are fetishes that Uratha from a city setting can use and first appeared in the book, Blood of the Wolf.

Urban Fetishes

Wolf in Dog's Clothing: This resembles a dog collar, although the styles vary as long as the necklace is tight fitting. When activated, this fetish changes the normal appearance of the Urhan form into a domestic mutt of the same mass for a scene. The Uratha does not need to re-activate the fetish is she slips back and forth within that scene, although the exact look and form of the breed cannot be controlled when the form is taken. So, she might appear to be a mastiff before shifting into Urshul form, and when the Uratha shifts back she appears to be a German shepherd mix. The character's Attributes are unchanged.
A dog-spirit must empower this fetish.

Wolfsole Tattoos: These wolf-print tattoos are normally applied at the ankles or sometimes on the tops of the character's feet. When activated, the tattoos grant an Uratha in Hishu or Dalu form +2 Speed and +2 to jump tests for a scene.
A dog- or coyote-spirit empowers this fetish.

Everyman Hood: The Hood is something that the Hunters in Darkness developed when they, for the first time, found their hunts leading them increasingly into the cities. Many of the early Hunters had a very hard time dealing with the mass and press of humanity crowded in the streets, and the Hunters' reactions, in turn, tended to give them away. The hood, originally part of a cape or overcoat, is now made part of jogging shoes or sweatshirts - any piece of clothing with a hood.
By pulling up the hood and activating the fetish, the Uratha begins to blend into any crowd of five or more. Attempts to shadow or track the werewolf suffer a -2 penalty for the duration of the scene or until the werewolf spends more than five minutes always from a similar crowd.
Action: Contested

to Transportation Keys: Transportation Key Fetishes were first created by Iron Masters to aid them in traveling quickly and securely within or even between cities. These fetishes are made with the power of at least Jaggling spirits within specific transportation-spirit descants (car, bus, plane, train, etc.). So one Uratha may have a ••• Plane Key Fetish, while another may have a ••••• Train Key Fetish.
Each key can be used a number of times a month equal to the fetish's dots. The fetishes only work on public transportation vehicles and networks. So an automobile key fetish only works on cabs, not private cars; train keys work on commuter trains, not freight trains.
The fetishes do not generate tickets, passports or identification for their users and can often lead to very ornamental keys - skeleton keys are traditional - although some Iron Masters now make the keys out of plastic swipe key cards.
Action: Instant
Dramatic Failure: The spirit of the vehicle deposits the Uratha in a random location, and the fetish refuses to work for one day.
Failure: Nothing happens.
Success: The werewolf activates the fetish stating a specific destination or direction and steps onto the public transport appropriate to the fetish. She may then instantly emerge from any of those transports within five miles per dot in the fetish.
The werewolf cannot control the exact place or vehicle from which she will emerge - the Storyteller places her as close as possible.
Exceptional Success: The maximum distance is tripled.
Example: March needs to get downtown fast. He sees a human who has hailed a cab so he burns a point of Essence to activate his ••• Automobile Key Fetish and pushes the startled human out of the way. He sits down in the cab and finds himself in another cab about ten miles away - within a few blocks of his destination. A woman with a very puzzled look on her face is holding the door, having just stepped out of the cab herself.
March says, "Thanks, lady" and gets out of the taxi as the cabbie screams about not splitting fares. March hurries into the crowd on the street, leaving the two to argue and wonder what happened.
