apathsolitaireStrength: Mountain Guardians are the strongest of the Gurahl and have an advantage over other werebears when engaging in activities that require physical strength.
Weakness: Challenge bound – dif to refuse a challenge or a dare, even if they know they are hopelessly overmatched. A guardian may attempt to resist this urge with a willpower roll.

More dif for vamp or mage to influence mind of a Gurahl. Any roll involving attempt to dominate or use mind magic suffers a +2 penalty. In gen Gurahl find that whenever they are engaged in a contest of wills over something they consider to be part of their sacred duty to Gaia, they have a boost from Bear to aid them.
Intractability – corresponding stubborn streak that makes it diff if not impossible for them to change their minds once they have set on a course of action. They surround themselves with traditions and rituals which sometimes blinds them to new ways of doing things. Whenever someone attempts to convince Gurahl to alter way of thinking, the Gurahl must make concerted effort to overcome her own mindset in order to do so. The trick of course, is to get to the Gurahl before she has had a chance to make up her mind.
