There are times when natural phenomenons weaken the borders between this world and the Hunting Grounds. One of these occurences is an eclipse. Occasionally, during these times, a manitou escapes and they find living hosts in which to reside. Some of the smaller manitou choose children born durring an eclipes and lend their powers to the child so that they might gain power later. A charater with this knack has some of the ablities of a Harrowed, even though he is living.
If the character should die and later come back Harrowed, he looses this edge due to the fact that his orriginal manitou has been defeated.
At creation the charater chooses one Harrowed power (with the approval of the Marshal). He is allowed to used to this power only at the price of a chip.
