The Bonewight is otherwise intangible and visible only as a pale shadow. (Only the recently dead - within 3 days - may be found in the dry lands. Bonewight does not need to possess a piece of the corpse in question).

==Farseer==
Farseers are the oracles of the clan. A Farseer can infiltrate and use the senses of any creature she can see (either with her own eyes or via a power) on a successful opposed Cunning roll. Once she has entered a host, her physical body does not have to remain in sight of the host. While in the host she has no control over the host and cannot direct its senses. She can remain within the host until she fails a Grit roll (Min 1 round). While she is within the host, her body is helpless and inert.

Farseers are mystics, able to infiltrate and use the senses of any creature within their line of sight, seeing what they see, hearing what they hear, feeling what they feel, etc.

*Spend a PP to call up a dense hemisphere of fog that muffles sound and impedes vision regardless of prevailing conditions. The fog will cover an area up to 30' out from and over the Mistweaver or fill any smaller enclosed space. The fog does not impede the Mistweaver's senses. (Dismissing the fog is a free action).
 
*Spend a PP to shape a present fog or mist in ways that suggest visual or auditory illusions.

The Wildwarden is a staunch protector of his people and a voice of command to man and beast alike.
 
'''Influence''' is the primary skill associated with triggering this distinction. '''Will''' or '''Power''' are both appropriate triggering attributes.
