Sorry, I don't understand.

Sorry auto correct, it was suppose to be thank you.

Demons are certainly interested in it, but they're interested in the idigam as well. Basically anything that can help them against or rival the God-Machine, which suggests the Warden is very powerful. If it isn't an idigam, I can't think of many 'proper' templates it would be, though there's a wealth of possibility that just grows when you consider weirdnesses of the Chronicles of Darkness or mixes, like a strix-idigam synthesis.

Black ooze and an enmity with the Locust Hosts doesn't strike me as very Demonic.

Oil, an obsession with keeping the peace, and hatred of things that take resources without giving anything back has "loyalist angel" written all over it, though. The fact the Unchained seem interested clinches the deal in my mind-I think the God-Machine's running experiments into taming the Shadow, and the Agency is keeping tabs on the competition (in particular given how the Warden isn't a hunter, it's way too busy with spiritual agriculture).

That is beyond amazing that you.

With just Primal Instinct, no*, no*, and possibly**.



Yes*

* If the Wolf-Blooded gains other Tells that access those aspects, the Primal Urge rating will impact them.

** I'd be inclined to make the sacred hunt requirement a thing if the Wolf-Blooded synergises Primal Instinct with any other Tell, but ultimately it's the ST's decision.

That is beyond amazing thank you.

So the Warden in Dubai he's a Demon right?

Definitely a powerful Demon in the Inferno sense. The Agency is straight up Unchained, though

Becoming a Totem is basically a licence to do a lot of the stuff werewolves normally don't like spirits doing.

How are the new Totem mechanics? can the Pack summon him in battle?

Second edition established the totem as a member of the pack, not just some distant patron. So they could always come and fight with you, and there were rites to help them assist further. The Pack establishes more what it's like for the totem, why it might join or help, and what it does on the hunt, or outside the hunt. There's also a section on totems without packs which is pretty interesting.

Totem's are more sustainable now. Their relationship with their pack means they can exist in twilight much more easily than a normal spirit.

[Monghani]

Considering that pack mates provide an Open Condition for them its not a matter of needing to summon them. They can enter or leave at any time.

When could they not?

Does anyone know if the pack sheet is available? I'm having trouble visualising how hunting nature works without the track it apparently contains.

Here's the link to the Pack Sheet. It's completely no frills, so if anyone with artistic talent wants to make a nicer version, please do.

I just bought the book (and it fantastic of course) but I do have a question.
Primal Instinct, do you gain all the draw backs of Primal Urge such as death rage, eating restrictions, and the time between sacred hunts?

With just Primal Instinct, no*, no*, and possibly**.

Also it mentioned that you do not gain the other benefits of Primal Urge unless you have the other tells. So would that mean that with wolf meat and this twe
Ell can have better regeneration?

Yes*

* If the Wolf-Blooded gains other Tells that access those aspects, the Primal Urge rating will impact them.

** I'd be inclined to make the sacred hunt requirement a thing if the Wolf-Blooded synergises Primal Instinct with any other Tell, but ultimately it's the ST's decision.
