Bastet

Bastet are the feline based lycanthropes. They see themselves as more graceful, sensual and patient than their cousins, the Garou (who are uncouth, unclean, rude, and violent). Garou think that Bastet are arrogant, hedonistic sluts that do whatever they damn well please.

Bastet are only stories to the local Garou, with the exception of the Bagheera. Qualmi will sometimes come down to visit during the winter, but they have never been seen at any Florida sept, or even stopped by to make idle chat with the Garou.

For more information, you are invited to read The Werewolf Players Guide from the paper game, pages 153 - 160.

Character Creation

Bastet Totem : None. Cats have too much pride. They will pay respects to Gaia, Mother of all Cat-kind, but all Bastet must pay twice the normal amounts for the Totem background.
Breeds : Homid, Metis, and Feline
Backgrounds : Same as Garou but no past lives. Add Pride, which is much like Kinfolk, but are usually feline and are much closer than normal kinfolk.

Please note that most Bastet do not induce the delirium in humans.

Bagheera

Initial Willpower : 2
Initial Rage : 2
Backgrounds : 4 - no fetish
Tribal Advantage : Sages
Bagheera are the philosophers of the Bastet and are less likely to frenzy. They have a free retest on all frenzy checks.
Tribal Drawbacks : Scholastic
Bagheera must spend four experience point to buy rage.

Balam

Initial Willpower : 2
Initial Rage : 4
Backgrounds : 3 - no resources, allies, or contacts
Tribal Advantage : Speed
All Balam get one free quick trait which cannot be bid unless it is their last trait, and then they never lose it.

Khan

Initial Willpower : 2
Initial Rage : 5
Backgrounds : 5 points - no limit
Tribal Advantage : Ferocious
Khan are stronger, and can call for a free second test to do another level of bite damage in combat. This does not require use of a rage point, but the Khan may opt to spend a rage to do a third level of damage if they so choose. Khans lose ties on the free test. Khans are the only Bastet that induce the delirium in humans (Kinfolk from any origin are not affected).
Tribal Drawbacks : Intolerance to Humans
Khans hate humans, and have a short temper with them. All frenzy checks are at a two trait penalty, and Khans become visibly up-tight when around large numbers of them. Imagine what claws on a chalk board would do to a Khan, then add human stink.
