Shifter/rites

• Reminder to all: Rites cannot be raised with XP spending. New Rites can only be learned through RP.

• You can only learn one rite at a time.

• Learning a rite is an extended action. A Garou must have a Rituals Knowledge at least equal to the level of the rite she wishes to learn; a character with Rituals 3 cannot master a Level Four rite. She must also spend time — at least one week per level of the rite she wishes to learn (three days for minor rites) — with the elder who knows the rite. The player must roll Intelligence + Rituals (difficulty of 10 minus Intelligence). The number of successes required equals the level of the rite. The student may make one roll per period of teaching (one week for a Level One rite, three weeks for a Level Three rite, etc.). If the student fails a roll, she must spend a Willpower point to continue her studies. If she botches a roll, she is not yet ready to learn the knowledge she seeks. The character must wait at least three turnings of the moon, or until she has more life experience, to try again.

• Although Rites are traditionally taught by elders, on the game you can learn Rites from your fellow Garou. And you can even gain renown from teaching Rites! Woo hoo!

• To begin the learning process from another character or a NPC, the student should put in the +job request regarding learning the Rite. I will not require RP logs of any "teaching" scenes from players, but occasionally a NPC may meet with the student in a scene to RP some teaching.
