The wererat's spittle can be converted into an odorless, colorless, fast-acting and neatly undetectable poison. She may even decide to lick her blade to coat it with the foul compound. When exposed to air, the toxin can last for up to three hours. This Gift can be taught by a Snake-spirit, although it's easier to learn from a Spider-spirit. Snake-spirits may try to betray, exploit or eat the Ratkin who study under them.
System
The wererat must spend one Gnosis to poison her saliva. If she can introduce the poison to the victim's bloodstream or make him ingest it, the toxin instantly takes effect. A victim takes two levels of aggravated damage each turn once infected; she may soak only with Stamina, soaking a health level with each success. Although Resist Toxin works against the saliva, Mother's Touch does not. If the victim can continue to resist damage for 10 turns and live, the poison is exuded from the body (choose the orifice or sweat gland of your choice). Any shapechanger with Rage can spend Rage to resistgaining an automatic success for each point burned - but the 'changer must immediately check for frenzy as a result.
