- It does not count as 2 higher for the purpose of grandfather’s song. Ancestral Taint is supposed to represent wolves becoming more like their spirit brethren. Therefore, after exceeding certain Taint values, they gain traits like those of the spirits. Such as permanent chameleon with 7 successes.
- As above, with an exponent of 8 you basically have spirit nature when you also cast spirit ears and nose and whatnot.
Remember that Ancestral Taint is supposed to be powerful. Also remember that basically all wolves with the Taint will have 6-7 life-paths to even begin to reach the exponents were talking about here. So imagine theses wolves in a “party” with Elven swordsmasters, 300 year old Dwarven princes, and G8 power trolls. Yeah.
Luke might be able to describe this better…
