Naechster Teil:

Madness, I Say — Human beings have long recognized the power of the moon to inspire them, to cause them to become contemplative, and to drive them mad. The Uratha benefit from a concentrated form of this power derived from their spiritual mother, Luna. This power wraps around a werewolf like a cloak, infecting human observers with the same sort of insanity that causes them to become more violent under the full moon and to forget what the night led them to do.

When a human observer clearly sees a werewolf in Dalu, Gauru or Urshul, or even sees the use of certain clearly supernatural Gifts, he is affected by the Lunacy. He might run in terror, curl up into a catatonic ball or even stand his ground depending on the severity of the exposure and his underlying will. Lunacy is strongest when facing a werewolf in nightmarish Gauru form, but it is never safe for a werewolf to adopt any hybrid form with humans present.

Even photographic records of the Uratha benefit from the protection of Lunacy to a limited degree. Although a snapshot taken of a werewolf in Gauru doesn't frighten anyone who looks at it, most humans simply refuse to believe that the picture could be more than a hoax.

This protection is hardly perfect, however. Willful humans can shake off the Lunacy for a time and are likely to come looking for explanations for what they've seen. Also, other supernatural denizens of the World of Darkness — vampires and things more dangerous still — do not suffer from the Lunacy.

Es gibt einen neuen Erscheinungstermin:

"Werewolf Hits the Streets on March 14th
We've gotten final confirmation that Werewolf: The Forsaken will release on Monday, March 14th, 2005. Yes, the book was originally set to release in February, but we needed a couple extra weeks to make sure everything was 100% ready. We also wanted to make sure we got a final delivery date from our printer to make sure we didn't have to change the release day multiple times. March 14th is the day."

Talking 'Bout My (re)Generation — Hollywood tells us that only a silver bullet can kill a werewolf. This is not strictly true, but the Uratha can indeed absorb huge amounts of physical punishment without dying. Their bodies quickly rebuild, with even deep gashes and broken bones healing in minutes, leaving no lasting indication. While werewolves can be killed by conventional means, it's much more likely that an assailant simply sees an Uratha slump over and change to human form… and then is unpleasantly surprised when the werewolf flies into frenzy again a moment later.

Werewolf characters regenerate one point of bashing damage per turn. This healing occurs regardless of whether an Uratha rests. She regenerates bashing damage at this rate even in the heat of battle, as an automatic, reflexive action. By spending a point of Essence, the werewolf can choose to regenerate a point of lethal damage instead of a point of bashing. (Uratha who can spend more than one point of Essence per turn, can regenerate more than one point of lethal damage per turn as well.)

Werewolves cannot regenerate aggravated damage (at least no faster than a normal human beings). In addition to certain supernatural attacks, silver weapons also cause aggravated damage to werewolves. Simple contact is not enough — the silver must be made into a weapon (such a bullet or a knife). The Forsaken do not carry silver weapons — doing so is simply an invitation to murder.

Nicht viel neues dabei.

Das die Parias keine Silberwaffen tragen ist interessant.
