  1. The City’s Pulse
  2. Level Two, Gnosis 5
  3. As cities become more like living things all their own,
  4. certain metaphors become literal. Just as fat can block a living person’s circulation, so can the arteries of a city clog up with traffic. This fetish, made from a stethoscope and a spirit of flowing water, can find where the city’s life flows. The werewolf puts on the stethoscope and presses the chestpiece against a permanent structure within the city.
  5. Activate the fetish and make a Perception + Streetwise roll at difficulty 6 to learn if the city’s services are being blocked or cut off and roughly where. ‘Services’ in this case includes roads, utilities, or waterways big enough to carry boats. The fetish reveals traffic jams, power outages, or similar events, from power going out in a single apartment to traffic snarls that gridlock several blocks. The werewolf receives a vague mental image of the event and a rough idea of its direction and distance. Multiple successes can pinpoint specific buildings where the power or phone lines have been cut.
  6. The stethoscope can also find places where unusually high levels of pollution taint the water supply. This awareness gives the werewolf a better appreciation of a city as a whole rather than individual parts. For the rest of the scene, she gains a two-die bonus to Social dice pools when dealing with spirits of the blocked services.

  8. In-A-Flash Drive
  9. Level Two, Gnosis 6
  10. Once upon a time there was an easily-reproducible technofetish that took the form of a 3.5” floppy disk bound with a spirit of a magpie (or another animal known for theft) called the ‘Stretchy Disk.’ Upon being inserted into a computer, it would copy the entire contents of that computer, regardless of size or software, onto the disk for later retrieval in an instant. The In-A-Flash Drive is a modern update using a USB drive.
  11. The user plugs it into the target computer and activates it. It takes about three seconds to copy every single byte of data on the computer, and just enough of the user’s spiritual residue to unlock every password on the machine.. On plugging the drive into another computer, the werewolf can either search the cloned hard disk at incredible speeds, or start the cloned copy of the machine. When running in that mode, the werewolf never has to enter a password or answer a security question, even for secure sites that require a keyfob or similar hardware ‘key.’
  12. The In-A-Flash Drive can store one imaged machine at a time; cloning another computer overwrites the drive’s contents. A level three, Gnosis 7 version of this fetish can store any number of cloned computers, and can steal from any machine it can contact over Bluetooth or that’s attached to the same WiFi hotspot.

  14. People’s Microphone
  15. Level Two, Gnosis 6
  16. This fetish, common among the Children of Gaia and rabble-rousing Bone Gnawers, is a megaphone with a spirit of revolution bound into it. It has the ability to channel the ephemeral spirit that forms when a crowd of people gather, using the spirit’s power to enhance the speaker’s words. If the user of the fetish is speaking on behalf of (or to raise the morale of) a crowd of up to 100 people, his relevant Social rolls receive a +1 die bonus. A crowd of 101-500 people provides a +2 bonus, a crowd of 501-5000 provides a +3. Every 5000 people beyond that provides another +1 up to a maximum bonus equal to the speaker’s Willpower. Normally, this fetish does not require spending Gnosis to activate but a werewolf who does can hand it off to a human or Kinfolk for their use.

  18. Profile Skimmer
  19. Level Three, Gnosis 6
  20. This is an example of a variety of technofetish referred to as ‘softwere.’ It’s not a device but a program that has had a spirit bound into it that can be sent off to do dirty work. This one in particular is bound with a Pattern-Spider and can be sent out to put together a profile on a target. The user searches for a person based on either name and a rough description, or a photograph. The softwere uncovers any available information about the target. The player rolls the Profile Skimmer’s Gnosis with a difficulty set by the Storyteller based on how much information is available on the target, with 6 being the head of a country or famous television personality and 9 being an average Joe seen on the bus. With a success, the Skimmer comes back with a profile on the person composed of all publicly available information, along with police and government records, and full records for known aliases. With 3+ successes, the Skimmer can dig up information protected by supernatural security systems.
