Editing Changeling Homebrew Hedge Bounty (section)

===Wolfsbane===
Almost identical to its mundane cousin, the wolfsbane that grows mountain meadows of the hedge actually does carry with it some of the powers ascribed to it in legend making. Most of the time it is a powerful repellent to wolves, be it actual wolves, briarwolves, wolf-like changelings, or even werewolves. If simply worn wolfsbane repels anything wolfish within a 10 yard radius unless the affected individuals can pass a resolve + stamina - the wearer's presence to resist being overcome with nausea, the roll being made once every 5 minutes. Wolfsbane can be made into a more potent salve with several choice pickings of the plant's leaves and such with 10 successes on an extend crafts + int check that increases the range from 10 yards to 50 yards. This salve lasts for a day or until washed off.

If applied directly to anything with a touch of wolf, wolfsbane acts as deadly poison that is mechanically identical to hydrogen cyanide (which can be found on page 125 of Armory). A more portent tincture can be made from the plant with 15 successes on an extended int + crafts roll, which boosts the toxicity to 8 and completely nullifies the effects of werewolf regeneration, not that any damage caused by wolfsbane can be healed by a werewolf's regeneration.

To anyone with the proper occult knowledge (15 or so success on an extend occult + int roll), wolfsbane's effect can actually be reversed to imbue wolfish properties when properly prepared (5 successes if the process is known, 20 otherwise). The prepared mixture grants the imbiber a temporary blessing of 2 dots to the Contract of Fang and Talon as related to wolves (or +2 if they already have it) and the benefits of the Hunterheart kith. If a changeling has brownie's boon, this can in some rare cases turn a mortal into a wolfblooded or in even rarer cases, an actually werewolf.

Fortunately, wolfsbane is very rare in the hedge and typically only found on the side closer to Arcadia. Nor does it take to transplant very well, requiring a gift of one's own wyrd and sanity to do so. Though wolfsbane on the real world side of the hedge rarely develops into its mature form, appearing more often in its less potent form known as Woman's Bane.
