In fact because the toxic nature of Ichor is akin to cancer, growth and mutation rather than decay and death, it is more dangerous to Werewolves than most beings. Firstly the effects become visible in a matter of minutes and secondly if the Werewolf takes more damage than Stamina they succumb to a form of cancer, one where the cancer cells can Regenerate. |

She is not compelled to act in any specific way, Tranquil Leviathans are often experienced in ignoring their frequently misleading instincts, but it's mere presence may trigger an Outburst. |

Zeal is somewhat superfluous to an Ancient, their Cult's primary use as a source for Glamour is already covered by the Harvest Merit and the Anceint's followers don't make the move from devout to blood drenched fanatics, or at least they are no more likely than for normal religions. Instead use “Organisation”. As an Ancient becomes more beholden to their divine persona bank accounts in the church's name, clerical staff, a public relations team and more all become a useful screen to prevent a horrible misunderstanding between the Ancient and the modern world. | Zeal is somewhat superfluous to an Ancient, their Cult's primary use as a source for Glamour is already covered by the Harvest Merit and the Anceint's followers don't make the move from devout to blood drenched fanatics, or at least they are no more likely than for normal religions.

Ancients get tasks just like Leviathans but as their cults don't (well don't usually, those that don't may use the Fervour rules) combine organised religion with organised crime these tasks tend to be on the good side of the law. This might seem far less powerful than Fervour but Influence is not just a measure of effective members but also how well liked the group is by the community. A Leviathan's Cult with the Recognition Merit may be entitled to visit a hospital and comfort the sick, but when an Ancient with Influence does so people are actually glad to see them. In addition to providing tasks Influence can provide a bonus to applicable social rolls. |

Firstly Prometheans are immune to the Wake, as are Leviathan's immune to Disquiet. The Created's Azoth burns away the touch of Primordial Water while the Leviathan's connection to Primordial Water smothers the touch of Pyros. Neither sensation is comfortable: The Promethian feels as though her Azoth is being extinguished and the Leviathan feels a burning from the direction of the Promethian. There is no actual risk but prolonged exposure may cause Torment and Outbursts respectively. | Firstly Prometheans are immune to the Wake, as are Leviathan's immune to Disquiet.

Not many special rules for Genius. It might be worth noting that the Inspired are the most dangerous threat to a Leviathan: They can build as big as a Levithan can grow (and it's easier for them to build big than a Lev to grow big), they have really really easy access to Electric weapons. Basically Levs are weak against Science, Geniuses have better Science than Marduk. | Not many special rules for Genius.

Geniuses can use Leviathans as components in their Wonders. Use the Larvae (or possibly finding Ingredients rules).
