· Agro Culture (City Farmer Gift) - (GW1)
The Garou can cause plants to take root and grow in places where it is usually impossible for plants to grow. This Gift does not make plants grow supernaturally fast; it simply gives them a chance for life where none existed before. The plants must still be tended to and watered. However, the plants can use artificial substances such as concrete and plastic for soil. They dig their roots in and grow. Plants can even be coaxed to grow out of walls, as long as they are nurtured during the process. This Gift is taught by plant spirits.
System: The Garou must plant seeds in the area to be fertilized. If this is a concrete wall, he must place the seeds in cracks within the surface. He then rolls Charisma + Science (or Herbology) against a difficulty dependent on the toxicity of the area. An abandoned lot might by 5, a typical city building bathed in the smog of passing cars might be 6 or 7, while an oil spill site might be 9.
· Aura of Confidence - (SL1)
The Garou radiates an aura of strength and command, preventing any attempts to read the Garou's aura or detect his weaknesses; he reveals no flaws whatsoever. This Gift is taught by an Ancestor spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Subterfuge (difficulty 7). This must be rolled for each new encountered of situation the Garou finds himself in.

· Balance - (SG1)
The Garou is able to walk across any ledge, rope, etc no matter how thin or slippery. This Gift is taught by Wind spirits.
System: No point expenditure or roll is required. Difficulties for climbing are reduced by 3.
· Beast Speech - (Ga1,RT1)
The Garou may speak to animals, from pigeons in the park to beavers at their dam or fish in the sea. This does not change their basic reactions - a hungry tiger is still hungry and may well attack. This Gift is taught by a Nature-spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Animal Ken (difficulty 6). This roll must be made for each type of animal and for each encounter.
· Blur of the Milky Eye - (Ra1)
The Garou's form becomes a shimmering blur, allowing him to pass unnoticed among others. Once the Garou has been seen, however, this Gift is negated until the viewer has again been distracted. This Gift is taught by a Chameleon-spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Manipulation + Stealth (difficulty 8[6]). Each success increases by one the difficulties of all Perception rolls made to detect him.
· Call of the Wyld - (Ga1)
The Garou can summon others by howling; Garou far beyond the range of hearing will sense the Call and may come to aid. This Gift can enhance the effect of any of the normal Garou howls (see Howls, pg37). This howl can also be sounded to summon specific Garou for a moot. Finally, Call of the Wyld is often used at the beginning of revels and other events, to invigorate the Garou. This Gift is taught by a Wolf- spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Stamina + Empathy (difficulty 6). The number of successes determines how far away the Call can be heard and how stirring it is to those who hear it. The actual effects are determined by the Storyteller, but they should be linked to the type of howl made and the intent of the Garou. Some examples are: every two successes gives those at a revel extra dice to their Pools; Wyrm agents are distracted by the call and their difficulties are temporarily raised; all Garou in the area do not hesitate to respond to the Garou's Call to Succor.
· Call the Breeze - (WD1)
The Garou may summon a strong (20 mph), chill breeze and direct it at whim. The breeze will disperse clouds of vapours or insects, and will chill anyone not prepared for the cold. This Gift is taught by a spirit servant of Wendigo.
System: The Garou may call this breeze merely by whistling. Anyone relying at all on hearing will have one fewer die of any Perception roll related to that sense.
· Camouflage - (WD1)
When in the wilderness, the Garou is extremely hard to see, for she can blend into the woods. This Gift is taught by a Deer spirit.
System: The difficulties of all rolls to spot the Garou are increased by three, provided the Garou is in the wilderness.
· Cardboard Mansion - (BG1)

Despite conditions outside the box, the mansion remains dry, warm and quiet. A Home or Hearth-spirit can teach this Gift.

System: The Garou rolls Wits + Survival. The difficulty depends on the objects used - 6 for inedible but otherwise harmless material, up to 10 for cyanide and the like.
· Create Element - (Me1)
The Garou can create a small amount of one of the four basic elements - fire, air, earth or water. In this way, a Garou can replenish the air supply in an airtight room, make a rock to throw at someone, create a fire without matches or wood, or fill a bathtub without any faucet or pipes. Precious metals (especially silver) cannot be created, nor can lethal gases or acid. This Gift is taught by an elemental.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Gnosis (difficulty 6). One cubic foot of the desired element is created per success, to a maximum weight of 100lbs.

· Faerie Light - (Fi1)
With this Gift, a Fianna can create a wisp of ghostly light, usually white, green, or faint blue in color. She can direct the glow to move, but the light isn't strong enough to illuminate more than three feet around the Garou. Some Fianna like to use this Gift to make their eyes flash green or blue. Ragabash love to create tricks with Faerie Light. This Gift is taught by marsh spirits and faeries.
System: The Garou rolls Wits + Enigmas against a difficulty of 6. The light appears anywhere the Fianna chooses, as long as it is within line of sight. It may float slowly at about 10 yards per turn.

· Fast Track (Scouts) - (Uk1)
This Gift strengthens the Garou's stamina and allows her to travel much more quickly than would be normally possible. Using the Gift allows the Garou to determine the path of least resistance, so she can move from one place to another with great speed and less interference. While not a replacement for a Moon Bridge, Fast Track lets the Garou continue traveling long past the time she would normally become exhausted. She can effectively make a forced march that covers three times the distance she would normally cover in the same amount of time and arrive no more tired than usual. This Gift is taught by a Bear spirit.
System: The player must roll Stamina + Athletics (difficulty 7) and spend a point of Gnosis. A single success allows the Garou to make a forced quick-march by trotting at a ground-covering pace that does not exhaust her. This Gift is not meant to make the Garou a speed-demon, and cannot be used to escape pursuit or pursue fleeing foes by running faster. It can be used for those purposes if it is a matter of outlasting pursuers or pursued.

· Ice Dance - (SF1)
The werewolf can move on ice and snow with supernatural grace and speed.
System: The player spends a Gnosis point to activate this Gift for one day. This is a Gift of balance; Philodox are especially adept at this art. All Dexterity rolls are -1 difficulty while on ice or snow (-2 for Philodox), and a Garou can run at normal speeds through even the deepest snow and on the slickest ice. A Philodox running on ice can double his normal speed. An Ice Elemental teaches this Gift.
· Inspiration - (Ah1)
Other werewolves look to the Ahroun for leadership in combat. The Gift of Inspiration is one reason. The Garou with this Gift lends new resolve and righteous anger to his bretheren. This Gift is taught by a Lion or Wolf spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Rage point. Comrades automatically receive one success on any Willpower rolls made during the scene. Not that this Gift does not affect its possessor.

The Garou can cause a silvery light to ignite around her body. This Gift is taught by a Lune.
System: The Garou must spend one Willpower point. The effect lasts for the duration of the scene.

· Leap of the Kangaroo - (Lu1)
This Gift was originally developed by the lost Bunyip tribe. By invoking the Gift, Garou may leap incredible distance. Despite its name, this Gift is taught by Hare- or Cat-spirits (marsupial-spirits seem loath to aid the Garou these days...).

All those included in the dream may interact normally through the Mindspeak, though they can inflict no damage through it. Their real bodies can still act, though all Dice Pools are reduced by two. The Mindspeak ends when all the participants want it to, or on the turn the Galliard fails the roll against an unwilling member. The beings affected must be within line of sight.
· Moonshadow (Moon-Daughters) - (BF1)
By calling on their kinship with Luna, the Daughter may use a moonlight to smooth the way between worlds. The Fury may substitute moonlight for a mirror, making themselves one with the light itself. This Gift is taught by a Lune.

System: The Garou spends on Gnosis point and rolls Intelligence + Medicine (difficulty of the wounded individual's Rage, or 6 for non-Garou). Each success heals one Health Level. Even battle scars may be cured in this manner, but this must be done in the same scene the scar was obtained and requires the expenditure of a Gnosis point. There is no limit to how many times this may be used on a person, but each use requires a Gnosis point.
· Muladhara (Kundalini) - (SG1)

Each sucess lowers the difficulty of any roll involving meditation by one; or, when resisting frenzy, each success raises the difficulty of the roll by one - although the character must perform no other action that turn or the next. In all cases, Stamina roll difficulties related to fatigue are lowered by one for the rest of the scene.
· Nose of the Hungry Hound - (BG1)
By invoking this Gift the Garou can hunt down the closest source of discarded, relatively disease-free food. This Gift will not detect the hot dogs within a vendor's cart (unless that vendor would gladly give a wiener to a hungry mutt), but it would detect the bag of cheez-fries that accidentally dropped out of a passing car window. This is a Bone Gnawer version of the Lupus Gift: Sense Prey and is taught by Dog, Raven and Possum spirits.
System: The Gnawer who wishes to use this Gift must spend a Willpower point and make a Perception + Primal-Urge roll (difficulty 7). The number of successes determines how much food is found.

The owls will often be easily persuaded to do small favours, such as acting as messengers or spying out enemies. This Gift is common among the Temple-Keepers of Artemis and the Sisterhood. Many of their Kinfolk also share this Gift, and new sisters often receive it as an initiation Gift. It is, unsurprisingly, taught by an owl spirit.
System: The Fury must make an Charisma + Animal Ken roll (difficulty 5). If the rolls is successful, the owl recognises the kinship and behaves accordingly. Each success is one 'favour' that the owl will do before moving on with their own concerns.

This Gift is taught by any spirit servant of Gaia.
System: The Garou rolls Perception + Occult. The difficulty for this Gift is based on the concentration and strength of the Wyrm's influence (sensing a single formor in a room would have a difficulty of 6). Vampires can be sensed using this Gift, but only those with Humanity scores lower than 7.

System: The Garou may use his slick outer coating to avoid being grappled. With a successful Dexterity + Primal Urge roll (difficulty 7), he can free himself from any successful grappling attack.
