RANK 2

· Alter Scent - (Ra2)
The Garou can change his scent trail to evade a hunter or leave a false trail. The Garou can reproduce any scent he has encountered, from deer to diesel trucks. A Skunk-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Wits + Primal Urge to reproduce any scent the Garou has encountered (difficulty 6). The number of successes determines the accuracy of the false scent. Garou with this Gift can reproduce the aroma of other Garou or even inanimate objects.
· Awe - (SF2)
The Garou, simply by her bearing and strength, proves to others her mastery and right to rule other tribes. This Gift is taught by a Falcon spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Appearance + Empathy (difficulty of the target's Willpower). If successful, the difficulties for all Social rolls made by the Garou against that target are reduced by one, and the target's difficulty to hit the Garou in combat is increased by one.
· Axis Mundi - (Lu2,SS2)
The Garou with this Gift can center herself in relation to Gaia, and always know which direction she is traveling in or facing, no matter where she may be in the Gaia realms. In addition, the werewolf carries her "territory" around with her, in a mystical sense. Wolves will detect this, and concede her right to travel through their territories and hunt there. Other animals will also recognize this, and not attack the intruder.
System: To activate this Gift, the player must expend a point of Gnosis. Animals will automatically sense the presence of the Garou and leave her be, and even other lupus must make a Willpower roll not to recognize this right.
· Beastmind - (RT2)
The Garou can reduce the mental faculties of a target to those of an animal for a short time. This Gift is taught by an avatar of Griffin
System: The Garou rolls Manipulation + Empathy (difficulty of the target's Willpower). The effect lasts for one turn per success.
· Blissful Ignorance - (Ra2,BG2,SS2)
The Garou can become completely invisible to all sense, spirits or monitoring devices by remaining still. This Gift is taught by a Chameleon- spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Dexterity + Stealth (difficulty 7); each success subtracts one success from the Perception + Alertness rolls of those actively looking for the character. If no one is so doing, then one success indicates complete concealment.
· Brew - (Fi2)
The Fianna are renowned for their ability to drink liquor. Part of this legend stems from their ability to make it. With Brew, the Garou can mystically transform a pitcher of any liquid into an alcoholic substance. This Gift can surreptitiously inebriate unsuspecting targets. A Grain-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: After spending a Gnosis point, the player rolls Wits + Medicine (difficulty 7). The number of successes determines the quality and potency of the concoction. One success can create cheap, domestic beer, low-budget wine or mediocre tequila, while five successes can create a high quality imported beer, fine vintage champagne or a top-shelf liquor. A botch creates a brew that induces massive hangovers (-1 penalty for the entire next day).
· Burrow - (Me2)
The Garou can burrow a tunnel into the earth. The tunnel is relatively permanent, and other can follow the Garou through it, although it is tight and only one person at a time can go through. However, no being larger than the Garou can travel the tunnel. The Garou must be in Crinos, Hispo or Lupus form to use this Gift, but the tunnel will only be as large as the form he assumed while burrowing it (only Lupus- or smaller-sized beings can travel a tunnel burrowed by a Garou in Lupus form). The tunnel is not structurally sound and will collapse over time. This Gift is taught by a Mole-spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Strength + Athletics against a difficulty depending on the substance to be excavated (4 for loose mud, 9 for solid rock). One yard per turn can be burrowed for each success.
· Call of the Wyrm - (Ga2)
This dangerous Gift actually attracts creatures of the Wyrm. This Gift is usually used to create an ambush or to flush prey from hiding. This Gift is taught by any spirit servant of Gaia.
System: The Garou makes a resisted roll of Manipulation + Performance vs. the Wyrm creature's Willpower (both rolls are difficulty 7). If the Wyrm creature loses the contest, it must come to the caller.
· Call to Duty - (Ph2)
The Garou can summon spirits if she knows their names, and may give them one command. Only one command may be given; after it is carried out, the spirits will depart. Spirit names can be discovered either through personal acquaintance or the Gift: Name the Spirit (Lupus and Theurge). This Gift is taught by an Incarna avatar.
System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Leadership (difficulty of the spirit's Willpower). If the Garou spends a Gnosis point, she can summon all spirits within one mile to protect or assist her, even if she does not know their names.
· Calm - (CoG2)
The Garou can quell the anger in others. This Gift is taught by a Unicorn spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Charisma + Empathy (difficulty of the target's Willpower). Each success removes one of the target's Rage points, although lost Rage can be regained normally.
· Ceridwen's Blood - (Fi2)
Blood has a power within it. With this Gift, a Fianna can tap the life-force within her own blood to restore a fallen ally. However, by doing so, she must suffer the wounds she heals. This Gift is taught by spirits allied to Stag.
System: The Garou can heal an injured target by spilling her own blood (a small cut will do) and rolling Stamina + Medicine against a difficulty of 8. One wound level is healed per success. However, the Gift-user suffers a number of wounds equal to the amount healed - she cannot soak this damage. The Fianna can heal aggravated wounds by spending a Gnosis point, although she will only take non-aggravated wounds in exchange.
· Clap of Thunder - (SL2)
The Garou may clap her hands together, sending forth a shockwave that can stun all before her. This Gift is taught by a Stormcrow.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point. All those within 10 feet, friend and foe alike, must score at least one success on a Willpower roll (difficulty 8) or be stunned an unable to act for one turn; on a botch they are stunned for the duration of the scene. The Garou must be in Homid, Glabro or Crinos form to employ this power.
· Coils of the Serpent - (Uk2)
The Garou may summon serpentine ropes of darkness, mist or fog to grasp enemies and render them immobile. Each coil is four feet long and has the Strength, Dexterity and Brawl ratings as the Garou who summons it. A Snake-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Dexterity + Occult (difficulty 7). Each success beings forth one one coil from the prevailing element (darkness, shadow, mist, fog, dust). The Garou must direct the coils' attacks if she wishes to target multiple opponents; otherwise, the coils focus on the person or creature closest to their manifestation. The coils may only grasp to immobilise; they aren't capable of greater manipulation.
· Cold Voice of Reason - (SL2)
A cunning Shadow Lord can talk his way out of just about anything. If a Lord is attacked by another Garou, the Shadow Lord may invent a clever remark that will detain his attacker for at least one round. This gift is taught by a Crow-spirit.
System: The Garou spends a Gnosis point and rolls Manipulation + Subterfuge (difficulty 8). The attacker is detained one round for each success as long as he, in turn, is not attacked. If the target is assaulted, the effect of the oratory wears off, and the victim may resume his attack. A botch with this Gift will cause the attacker to go into Frenzy.
· Command Spirit - (Th2)
The character can manipulate encountered spirits, giving simple commands and expecting their compliance. While she cannot summon spirits by name with this Gift , she can interact with those she meets. This Gift is taught by any Incarna avatar.
System: The Garou must spend a Willpower point and roll Charisma + Leadership (difficulty of the spirit's Gnosis). Each successive command requires the expenditure of another Willpower point. Note that the Garou cannot command spirits to leave areas to which they have been bound; that requires the Exorcism Gift (see below).
· Cull the Herd - (RT2)
A Red Talon using this Gift measures the vitality of her prey to plan her attack strategy effectively. During the Impergium, Red Talons used this Gift to pick the weakest of the humans and destroy them. Occasionally, the Red Talons killed the strongest of the humans to remove them from the breeding pool. Today, the Gift continues to help Red Talons hunt and kill their prey. An Avatar of wolf teaches his children how to detect the easiest prey.
System: The Red Talon need only succeed on a Perception + Primal Urge roll (difficulty 7) to determine the general health and fitness of an individual. This Gift also works on animals and Garou as well as humans. One success detects any injuries, whereas five successes would reveal the creature's entire physiology.
· Curse of Aeolus - (BF2)
The Garou summons an eerie, chilling fog to shroud the landscape, unnerving her enemies. The Garou can see through the fog, but others will have trouble navigating the mists. This Gift is taught by a spirit servant of Aeolus, a totem spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Gnosis against a variable difficulty (4 near the sea, 5 near open water, 6 normally, 9 in a desert). The Garou's vision is unhindered by the mist, but all others halve their Perception rolls. Additionally, the mist is creepy and unnerving to enemies; -1 to all Willpower rolls.
· Curse of Hatred - (Me2)
The Garou may verbalize the hatred in her heart, disheartening opponents with the intensity of her emotion. This Gift is taught by a spirit of Hate.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Manipulation + Expression (difficulty of the opponent's Willpower). If the Garou succeeds, her opponent lose two Willpower points and two Rage points. This may only be used on an opponent once per scene.
· Cutting Winds - (WD2)
The Garou may summon a painfully bitter blast of wind, which he may direct at foes. This Gift is taught by a spirit servitor of Wendigo.
System: The Garou spends one Willpower point. To direct the wind in combat, he rolls Dexterity + Occult (difficulty 6). Anyone hit by the wind loses two dice from all actions taken that turn and has one fewer die on actions the next turn. The wind might also knock foes off ledges, into pits, etc. The wind lasts for a scene. The range is calculated according to the modifiers for firearms. The medium range is 20 years. Targets within a yard of the Garou are considered point-blank (difficulty 4).
· Cybersenses - (GW2)
The Garou, through studying his own senses and the tools of science, may alter his sensory perceptions to those of a machine. Thus, he can change his hearing to detect radar, change his eyes to detect UV emissions or radiation, etc. This Gift is taught by any technological spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point per sense affected. Thereafter, he substitutes a Perception + Science roll for any Perception rolls involving the new sense(s). The effect lasts for a scene.
· Disfigurement - (SL2)
The Shadow Lord can place a nasty boil or dishonourable scar on the target. She can disfigure her rival in embarrassing ways that rob him of prestige in the presence of other Garou. Although the lesion isn't physically handicapping, it certainly limits the victim's social grace. A Baboon or Toad spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player rolls Manipulation + Primal Urge (difficulty 7) and spends a Willpower point. The disfigurement subtracts two dice from all the target's Social rolls. The scar or blemish heals at the end of one scene.
· Distractions - (Ga2)
The Garou can make annoying yips, yelps and howls to divert the attentions of his target. This Gift is taught by a Coyote-spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Wits + Performance (difficulty of the victim's Willpower). Each success subtracts one from the target's Dice Pool next turn.
· Dreamspeak - (Ga2)
The Garou enters another's dream and can thereby affect the course of that dream. The Garou does not have to be anywhere near the target, but must know or have seen the dreamer. This Gift is taught by a Chimerling.
System: The Garou rolls Wits + Empathy (difficulty 8). If the dreamer awakens while the Garou is still within the dream, the Garou is thrown out of the dream world and loses a Gnosis point.
· Eye of the Eagle - (Lu2)
This gift allows the user to see long distance, over "two looks away". This gift will not work well in the city, as buildings tend to get in the way. It is, eeriely enough, taught by an Eagle spirit.
System: Roll Perception + Alertness against an 8 difficulty. The number of successes is the number of miles away one can see as normal.
· Find the Prize - (BG1)
The Garou employing this Gift closes her eyes and things about finding a thing of great value, either a specific item or a general class of things. If the Gift is invoked correctly, the Garou may receive an impression of or a clue leading towards the item they are looking for. The clue is decided by the Storyteller and must be worked into the story: "Turning the corner, you see an ad for the Hound Dog cafe...perhaps the Elvis plate could be there?" Note that just because an item has been located does not mean it can be easily gotten. This Gift is taught by an Enigma spirit, or by any City spirit associated with finding items.
System: The player spends a Gnosis point and rolls Perception + Enigmas (difficulty set by the Storyteller). Each success on the roll gives one clue concerning the whereabouts of this item.
· Fog - (WD2)
As the Black Fury Gift: Curse of Aeolus. The Warpath camp acquired a Gift similar to the Black Furies' to cover their ecoterrorist activities. They learn this Gift from the Rain-spirits.

[Tami]

RANK 2 CONT

· Ghost Pack - (WD2)
This Gift allows the Wendigo to call upon the aid of their ancient relatives. Much like the Past Life Background, the Ghost Pack can aid the Garou when she is in trouble or needs advice. The Ghost Pack whispers secrets to the Wendigo and often follows her around even after the Gift expires. A Buffalo spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player must spend one Gnosis, and roll Charisma + Occult (difficulty 7). The number of successes equals the number of ancestor spirits that come to the user's aid. Although the ghosts cannot affect the physical world - they are simply memories and not actual wraiths - they can provide information and skills as per the Past Life Background.
· Gibbous Moon Song (Moon Lodge - Galliard) - (SF2)
When used by Fangs of other auspices, this Gift makes the Garou more adept at social situations. It makes Galliards loquacious and silver-tongued in the extreme. Galliard moon-dancers who use this Gift draw upon the moon's mysteries to cast complementary light on their every action. The Galliard naturally draws people's attention. A "social Gaffling" of the Great Green Cheese Spirit (a traditional Bone Gnawer ally) teaches this Gift. This fact is scandalous to most Silver Fangs.
System: To learn this Gift, the Garou must best the spirit in a word contest (Wits + Enigmas, difficulty 8). The player spends a point of Gnosis for the Garou to use this Gift. All Social Skills are -1 difficulty for the duration of the scene. Galliards who use this Gift are -3 difficulty on all Social rolls.
· Glib Tongue - (Fi2)
The Garou is mystically able to make whatever she says be what the target wants to hear. Whatever the Garou says, even gibberish, will be heartily agreed with, although the Garou won't have a clue what the target thinks she is saying. This Gift is taught by a Trickster spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Wits + Expression (difficulty of the victim's Wits + Alertness). The effects last for one turn per success.
· Grandmother's Touch - (CoG2)
This Gift is similar to Mother's Touch, but the Garou can use it to heal herself as well as others. This Gift is taught by a Unicorn spirit.
· Grovel - (Me2)
By calling upon the behaviour ingrained into Garou by the Litany, the possessor of this Gift can all but force an attacker to accept their surrender. This does not mean the attacker will leave the Gift user alone. They may continue to watch you and may verbally berate you, but they will not harm your as long as you do not initiate any attack. This Gift lasts for a scene and is taught by any Canine spirit.
System: By spending an Gnosis point and rolling Charisma + Performance (difficulty 6, resisted by the other's Rage), the character may effectively surrender. In certain situations, the use of this Gift may induce an Honor loss or an increase in Social difficulties for a time.
· Halt the Coward's Flight - (GF2)
The Garou may slow his fleeing foes, preventing them from escaping his wrath. THis Gift is taught by a Wolf spirit.
System:The Garou spends one turn concentrating and rolls Charisma + Intimidation (difficulty of the foe's Willpower); if successful, the Garou may halve the speed of the individual for a scene.
· Harrying Wind (Kailindorani ) - (SG2)
This Gift summons a Wind spirit to harass and bewilder an opponent during combat.
System: The player rolls Manipulation + Leadership. For one turn per success, the Kailindorani's opponent has the difficulty of all his actions increased by 1. The effects of Harrying Wind are not cumulative; using the Gift multiple times on the same opponent provides no extra advantage.
· Heat Metal - (GW2)
Glass Walkers - who understand the workings of science and spirits alike - can mystically excite the molecules within metal. Metal heated in such a way can be forged, molded or used to sear flesh. A red-hot crowbar can be a very effective weapon, and heating the exterior of a gasoline tanker can have explosive results. Glass Walkers learn this gift from fire, metal or earth elementals.
System: The Glass Walker must spend one Gnosis point and successfully roll Intelligence + Repair. The difficulty varies from base metals (such as copper or lead) at difficulty 6 to complex alloys (such as steel or titanium alloy) at difficulty 7. The number of successes equals the number of rounds the metal stays heated. Touching heated metal causes one aggravated, unsoakable Health Level of damage per round.
· Howl of the Banshee - (Fi2)
The Garou may emit a fearful howl that unnerves all in the vicinity. This Gift is taught by a Banshee, a woeful spirit of the dead.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point. All who hear the howl, friends or foes, must make Willpower roll (difficulty 8 for foes, 6 for friends) or run in terror for one turn per success.
· Howl of the Unseen - (Fi2)
The Fianna have strong ties to the Umbra. A member of the tribe with this Gift may howl in the Umbra or in the Realm and have her kenning echo on the other side of the Gauntlet. This Gift is taught by the spirits of animals that make loud noises but remain unseen, such as crickets and frogs.
System: The Garou must spend a Gnosis point to activate this Gift. He may speak or howl for a full turn, and his voice will be heard on both sides of the Gauntlet. The Storyteller is free to determine how much the Garou can say in one turn. Consider timing the player as he speaks for five seconds (if he speaks too fast and you can't understand what he says, then neither can anyone listening).
· Inner Light - (SG2)
The Stargazer can step sideways into the Umbra using only his own inner light; he has no need of a reflection of a bright light to guide him. This Gift is taught by an Epiphling of Truth.
System: The player must still roll Gnosis as usual, and the Stargazer can still be "caught". He may lead packmates into the Umbra as per usual
· Inner Strength - (SG2)
The Garou, after brief meditation, convert her inner anger into iron resolve. This Gift is taught by Ancestor spirits of the Stargazers.
System: The Garou concentrates for five minutes and rolls Wits + Enigmas (difficulty 8). Each success converts one point of Rage into Willpower.
· Jam Technology - (Ho2)
The Garou can cause technological devices to cease functioning, albeit temporarily. This Gift is taught by a Gremlin, a type of Wyld spirit that enjoys breaking things.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Manipulation + Repair. Technological devices within 50 feet cease functioning for one turn per success, though the devices are unharmed. The difficulty of the roll is based on the following chart:
Device Difficulty
Computer 4
Phone 6
Automobile 8
Knife 10
· King of the Beasts - (Ph2)
Specific animals, generally ones with which the Garou regularly associates, follow his commands willingly and unconditionally. They understand him and want to help. The Gift is taught by a Lion- or Falcon-spirit.
System: The target must be within 100 feet, and the Garou rolls Charisma + Animal Ken against a difficulty based on his relationship with the animal (see below). This power only works on one animal at a time, and it does not attract animals to the Garou's vicinity (see the Level Four Lupus Gift: Beast Life).
Relationship Difficulty
A sibling 3
Feed and care for 6
Stranger 8
Hostile 10
· Luck of the Irish - (Fi2)
This Gift gives the Fianna a supernatural streak of luck. Mundane effects include finding four leaf clovers, bills lying on the sidewalk, plump sleeping rabbits waiting to be caught for supper and minor fortunate coincidences. This Gift is taught by a faerie spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point. She may then reroll any failed or botched roll. This Gift is usable only once per scene. Other minimal, although beneficial, effects may occur at the Storyteller's whim.
· Luna's Armour - (CoG2,SF2,SL2)
The Garou calls upon the blessing of Luna to deter any damaging attacks aimed at her. This Gift is taught by a Lune.
System: The Garou concentrates for one turn, spends one Gnosis point, and rolls Stamina + Survival (difficulty 6). Each success allows the Garou to add one to her Stamina for the purpose of soaking damage (including silver). The effect lasts for one scene.
· Manipura - (Kundalini) - (SG2)
The solar plexus chakra stirs, allowing the character access to powerful energy and strength which can greatly aid Kailindo maneuvers.
System: The player rolls Stamina + Rituals. Each success adds one to the character's Strength for the purpose of resisting grapples or initiating holds, but not for liftin gobjects or causing damage. This lasts for one scene.
· Messenger's Fortitude - (SS2)
The Garou may run at full speed for three days without rest, food or water. After the duration expires, the Garou must sleep for a Week. This Gift is taught by a Camel or Wolf spirit.
System: The Garou spends on Gnosis point and may do nothing save run; for an additional Gnosis point, he may imbue the effects of this Gift upon another being.
· Mimic - (Ga2)
The Garou can alter her voice such that she can imitate any sound or voice she has heard, including sirens, gunshots, musical instruments or even specific quotations. The Gift does not allow the creation of new sounds, but new combinations can have interesting effects. Magpie and parrot spirits know this Gift, but learning it from them can be an embarrassing and frustrating process.
System: Once the Garou learns this Gift, she can reproduce anything she hears. When simulating another person's voice (or animal speech) she can only iterate what she has heard and cannot improvise new speech. Clever Garou create new combinations to form new sentences, but they often sound choppy. The player must roll Charisma + Performance (difficulty 6) if the intended audience suspects a ruse or knows the original voice very well (a relative, long-time friend or packmate, for instance).
· Name the Spirit - (Th2)
The Garou is able to detect the type of approximate Trait levels (Rage, Power, etc) of a spirit. This Gift is taught by a spirit servant of the Uktena totem.
System: The Garou spends one Willpower point and rolls Perception + Occult (difficulty 8).
· Natural Camouflage - (Uk2)
By crouching down and remaining still in a natural environment (woods, desert, swamp), the Garou may appear as part of the landscape. Unless someone is actively searching for the Garou, she will be dismissed as a hummock, tree stump or some other natural feature. This Gift is taught by a taught by a Chameleon spirit.
System: The Garou merely needs to hunker down and think of blending in. Unlike the Ragabash Gift: Blissful Ignorance, the Garou does not actually become invisible, but becomes like an unnoticeable feature of the landscape. Someone searching for the Garou must roll Perception + Alertness (difficulty 9) to see through the camouflage. The Garou may spend a Gnosis point to negate being seen in this fashion. If mostly unobserved (ie: the searcher may be scanning the area but has his back to the Garou, only occasionally turning her direction), the Garou may remain camouflaged while moving slowly toward or away from the searcher, stopping whenever the searcher looks her way. Even slow movement while the searcher is looking in the Garou's direction will break the illusion, however.
· Obscure the Truth - (Ra2)
Not many Garou can look a Philodox in the eye and get away with bald-faced lies. The Ragabash with this Gift has an edge over all his kin. She can calmly explain that the sky is green or gleefully regale her comrades with the exploits of a lone, heroic Ragabash and have no fear of being called on her prank.
System: By spending a Gnosis point, the Ragabash gains an air of sincerity that is nearly impossible to penetrate. Once activated, consider the Ragabash's Subterfuge to be double its normal rating.
· Odious Aroma - (BG2)
The use of musk has long been a defense in the wild. With this Gift, the Garou can greatly amplify her own natural body odour, creating a debilitating stench. This Gift is taught by a Stinkbug spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point. For the duration of the scene, all beings within 20 feet of the Garou (provided they have olfactory organs) subtract two from all Dice Pools as they choke and retch. However, the Garou subtracts two from all his Social Dice pools and may be ostracised for the duration (not a big worry for most Bone Gnawers).
· Pennies From Heaven - (GW2)
The Garou can convince money spirits to improve the value of his money by changing the denominations of the coinage or currency. This Gift is taught by money spirits.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Charisma + Politics. The difficulty depends on the final desired denomination. It doesn't matter what the money already is, although few Garou will change dollars into pennies at a loss. The amount of money changed depends on the number of successes. (Storytellers of non-U.S. chronicles should adjust the following chart to the closest equivalent foreign currency.)
Denomination changed to: Difficulty
Penny 3
Nickel 4
Dime 5
Quarter 6
Dollar bill 7
Five dollar bill 8
Twenty dollar bill 9
Any other currency 10

Successes Amount (in coins or bills)
1 5
2 10
3 20
4 50
5 100
Glass Walker financial managers frown on the blatant use of this Gift, since it tends to attract the attention of other supernaturals who are concerned with money (such as the mage Syndicate). If too much of this mutant money hits the market too quickly, there will surely be supernatural retribution from other parties.
· Phone Diving - (GW2)
By invoking this Gift and calling upon his ability to step between worlds, a Glass Walker with this Gift can travel along the phone lines that span the globe. The number must first be dialed and physically answered - answering machines, voicemail and modems prevent this Gift from working.
System: By spending a Willpower point and then making a Gnosis roll (difficulty of the local Gauntlet), the Garou can travel from their current location to wherever their call is answered. The time taken is the same as the time to travel through the Gauntlet, but even if the receiver is replaced in that time, the Gift is still successful. A botch on the Gnosis roll sends the Garou catapulting into the unknown.
· Power Surge - (GW2,GF2[The Glorious Fist of Wotan])
By speaking with the spirits of electricity, the Garou may cause a blackout over a wide-spread area. This Gift is taught by an electricity elemental.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Wits + Science (difficulty 7). The area blacked or browned out depends on the number of successes rolled. One success is a single circuit, two for an entire house or storey and so on.
· Primal Instinct - (RT2)
The Red Talon can strip away the layers of humanity that cover up man's basic instinct. A human assaulted with this Gift finds himself behaving like a beast. Momentarily losing all civility, the human strips naked, runs through the streets, growls at threats and makes numerous, uninvited overtures toward members of the opposite sex. All thoughts of business meetings, colour television and BMW's vanish in favour of the basic drives of survival. Red Talons use whatever means necessary to force Ape-spirits to teach them this Gift.
System: The Red Talon must spend a Gnosis point and roll Manipulation + Animal Ken (difficulty equal to the target's Willpower). The number of successes indicates the extent to which the human target loses his humanity. One success causes a certain absent-mindedness and preoccupation with food and sex. Five successes, on the other hand, probably cause the raving target to be locked up and tranquilised.
· Pure Identity (Bringers of Light) - (SL2)
A Bringer of Light can alter his appearance to suggest he belongs to another race. If he remains in homid form, he can appear as pallid as a vampire or as glamorous as an Unseelie changeling. If he desires to keep his "scent" as a Garou, he can affect cosmetic changes and appear as a Black Spiral. This Gift is taught by a Chameleon-spirit.
System: The Lord spends three Gnosis, but need make no roll. The duration is one day. Close examination requires a Subterfuge roll to maintain the deception.
· Reason - (SF2)
The Silver Fang who uses this Gift may temporarily free himself from Harano and Derangements. This Gift may also be used to partially defend against all sanity-endangering attacks. Examples of such attacks include the Galliard Gift: Headgames, and Malkavian Dementation Discipline and invasive uses of Mind magick. A Firebird-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The player must spend a Gnosis point and roll Willpower (difficulty 7). The Garou overcomes all mental dysfunctions for a number of scenes equal to the number of successes rolled. All psychic attacks against the Garou's sanity are reduced by one die. If the player botches the roll, the character's dementia becomes painfully intense for a day.
· Reason - (SG2)
Using gestures to her chakras, as Klaital did, the Stargazer can resist wordly, mental and spiritual temptations, including corruption. This Gift is taught by an Earth-spirit.
System: The player rolls Wits + Rituals and spends one Gnosis point. Each success raises others' difficulties to ensorcel or supernaturally coerce the character bye one. For instance, a vampire trying to Dominate the Garou would find it harder to succeed. Against non-supernatural coercion, this Gift automatically succeeds. This, mundane con artists and temptresses have no power over the Stargazer.
· Salmon Swim - (WD2)
The character may move upon a river, lake or any other body of water as he does on land. This Gift is taught by a Salmon spirit
System: The player spends a Gnosis point and may walk and/or run upon water for a number of turns equal to the successes scored on a Dexterity + Athletics roll (difficulty 7). In addition, he may perform a jump similar to that provided by the Lupus Gift: Leap of the Kangaroo, as long as he starts and ends on water.
· Scent of Sight - (Lu2)
The Garou can use his sense of smell to compensate completely for his eyes; thus, he could attack invisible creatures normally, or roughly navigate in absolute darkness. This Gift is taught by a Wolf-spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Perception + Primal-Urge against a Storyteller-determined difficulty (depends on how powerful local smells are). The Storyteller should not require rolls every turn, but only when something could cause the Garou to lose his opponent's scent (he ran through water, they are fighting in a smelly alley, etc.)
· Sense Guilt (Hand of Tyr) - (GF2)
The Hand of Tyr camp specialises in the use and misuse of this Gift. By staring into the eyes of another, the Garou can sense whether the target harbours guilt for some past offense. The most experienced Get can even get a feeling for what sort of crime transpired. Unfortunately, some Get have been known to take advantage of this Gift by "sensing" guilt where none exists or by blackmailing Garou after a successful reading. A crow-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: A successful Perception and Empathy roll (difficulty 8) reveals hidden guilty feelings. One success detects any sense of regret, whereas five successes reveals specific facts concerning the dirty issue.
· Sense Silver - (Ah2)
Ahroun are the Garou least concerned by humnans, but even the greatest can be brought low by silver weapons. Thus, the Ahroun have learned to sense when they need to be more cautious. This Gift is taught by a Lune.
System: The Garou rolls Perception + Primal Urge (difficulty 7). If successful, she can detect the presence of silver. Three successes allow her to pinpoint the silver's location.
· Sense of the Prey - (Ra2,BF2,RT2)
The character, if he knows anything about his prey, can track it down as rapidly as he can travel. This unerring sense of direction operates anywhere, and is used to track spirits through the Umbra as well as to find beings on Earth. This Gift is taught by a Wolf- or Dog-spirit.
System: No roll is required unless the target is actively hiding, in which case a Perception + Enigmas roll is made against a difficulty of the target's Wits + Stealth. If the target is a spirit, the difficulty is the spirit's Gnosis.
· Sense the Unnatural - (Lu2)
The Garou can sense any unnatural presence and determine its approximate strength and type. supernatural presences can include: magic, spirits, the Wyrm, wraiths, etc. This will detect vampires, but only those with Humanity scores below 7. This Gift is taught by any spirit servant of Gaia.
System: The Garou rolls Perception + Enigmas (difficulty 6). The more successes rolled, the more information is gained. However, understanding the information might require an Intelligence + Occult roll (Storyteller's option).
· Sight from Beyond - (Th2)
When danger stalks the Garou, or momentous events are in the offing, visions being striking the Garou without warning. Her dreams are haunted by images of the Cainite elder stalking her; she begins seeing symbols of the Wyrm wherever she looks; the sky itself opens to show her images of the glorious battle to come. This Gift is taught by a Crow-spirit.
System: Interpreting these signs is best handled through roleplaying, but the Storyteller can require the Garou to roll Wits + Occult (difficulty 7) if appropriate.
· Snarl of the Predator - (GF2)
The Garou lets out a primal snarl, sending shivers up opponents' spines and cowing them into submission. This Gift is taught by a Wolf spirit
System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Intimidation (Difficulty of the opponents Wits +3). Each success subtracts one drom the number of dice the opponent can use next turn (the victim is cowed and overwhelmed). This Gift takes a full turn to invoke.
· Speak with the Wind-Spirits - (WD2)
The Garou can understand and speak with Wind-spirits. In addition, he may ask one question of the aerial spirits that ride the winds of the world (their attention span is too short for anything more). The question must have something to do with the nearby area (they quickly forget what they see). This Gift is, of course, taught by any aerial spirit.
System: The Garou does not need to spend points or roll to understand or speak with wind-spirits. To ask a question, however, the Garou must spend one Gnosis point and roll Manipulation + Expression (difficulty 7). The number of successes indicates the accuracy of the information; on a botch, the spirits lie.
· Spellbinding Oration - (CoG2)
Similar to Persuasion, this Gift allows a Child of Gaia to be persuasive when dealing with others. The Garou's statements will take on an air of extra meaning and credibility. Those hearing him are likely to agree with him. This Gift is taught by a Unicorn spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Leadership against a difficulty of 6. If successful, the difficulties of all Social rolls are reduced by one per success for anyone who hears him speak for the remainder of the scene. If the Garou is actively trying to exhort his audience to anything other than combat (in any form), the difficulties of Social rolls are reduced by two and then by one per success. The Garou must orate for at least five successes.
· Spirit of the Bird - (Uk2)
The Garou may hover and float in the air. This Gift is taught by any Bird-spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point. He may move at 20 mph, and the duration is one hour. Maneuvering requires a roll of Dexterity + Occult, and the difficulties of all complex actions, such as combat, are increased by two.
· Spirit of the Fish - (Uk2)
The Garou may breathe underwater and swim as fast as he can run in Hispo form. This Gift is taught by any Fish spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Stamina + Animal Ken (difficulty 6). The effect lasts for one hour per success.
· Spirit of the Fray - (Ah2)
The Garou may opt to attack first in any given turn, no matter what his initiative roll may be. This Gift is taught by a Cat spirit.
System: The Garou using this Gift acts either on his initiave segment as he rolled it, or at one success higher than any of his opponents, whichever is higher. There is no mandatory point cost or roll for this Gift, but Gnosis may be spent to ensure extra speed. If more than one Garou combatant has this Gift, the one who spends the most Gnosis goes first.

· Staredown - (Ho2)
By staring into the eyes of a human or animal, the Garou can cause the target to flee in terror. This Gift can be used against Garou, but the Garou will freeze in place rather than flee. This Gift is taught by a Ram-spirit or a Snake-spirit.
System: The Garou rolls Charisma + Intimidation (difficulty 6). The victim flees for one turn per success. Should the Garou score five or more successes, the victim flees for the duration of the scene. Garou targets will not flee, but they cannot attack while this Gift is in effect, although they can defend themselves.
· Steel Fur - (GW2)
Garou with this Gift can temporarily convert their fur into steel. This Gift is taught by metal or earth elementals.
System: the Garou must spend one Willpower point and roll Stamina + Science (difficulty 7). Each success adds one to the Garou's soak dice pool. The effect lasts for one scene or until the Garou decides to convert the metal back into fur. While this Gift is active, the Garou suffers a +1 difficulty to all Social rolls (except among Glass Walkers) and Dexterity rolls.
· Strength of Purpose - (Ph2)
Some Garou feel so strongly about their place in the pack, the tribe and the world that they can draw on this resolve in times of need. The Garou can pull new resolve from his deepest reserves. This Gift is taught by a Wolf-spirit.
System: Once per scene, when the character feels she needs Willpower, she can roll Stamina + Rituals (difficulty 7). For every two successes, she recovers one point of Willpower up to her maximum.
· Summon Talisman - (SS2)
The Strider can summon to herself any dedicated handheld object (see the Rite of Talisman Dedication). The item disappears from wherever it currently rests, even from somebody else's grasp, and appears in the Garou's grip. Striders use this Gift to bring special items to them once they have finished a journey, or to recover items lost along the way. A packrat-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The Garou need only spend one Gnosis point and concentrate on the item. The Garou can only call half of his dedicated items - he must choose which ones upon learning this Gift.
· Surface Attunement - (SG2)
The Garou may attune herself to the surrounding environment, thereby gaining the ability to walk at normal speed across such surfaces as mud, water, snow and quicksand without falling through or leaving tracks. This Gift is taught by the spirits of small animals (rabbits, sparrows, mice) animals usually overlooked by the other Garou, but honoured by the Stargazers.
System: The Garou concentrates for a turn and rolls Dexterity + Athletics (difficulty 6).
· Taking the Forgotten - (Ra2)
Not only is the Ragabash an accomplished thief, but those from whom she steals often never realize they have been robbed. If the character succeeds in stealing something, her victim will forget he ever possessed the stolen item. This Gift is taught by a Mouse-spirit.
System: The Garou must score three successes on a Wits + Stealth roll (difficulty of the victim's Intelligence + Streetwise).
· Touch of the Muse - (BF2)
With the Gift, the Black Fury invokes the spirits of art and artifice, calling the favour of the Muses to herself for a time. She can call upon any of the nine muses to help her in any endeavor that falls within their spheres - singing, dancing, history, seduction or oration. This Gift is taught by any spirit servant of the Muses.
System: A Gnosis roll (difficulty 8) reduces the difficulty of all Social rolls by one per success for any activity that would fall under the something of the muses.
· Trail of Pain - (BF2)
First developed by the Amazons of Diana camp, this Gift allows the user to sense persons in agony. The Amazons use this Gift to uncover individuals suffering abuse. Other Black Furies use this Gift to track the abusers after wounding them. This Gift is taught by a spirit servant of Pegasus.
System: The Garou must focus and spend a Gnosis pint. At least one turn is required for the Gift user to attune herself to the mental anguish of the target. A Perception + Empathy roll discerns a single sufferer among many. The Fury can sense any living being in tremendous pain, physical or emotional, within 50 yards. The user senses only the general direction and urgency, but that's typically enough for an angry Black Fury.
· Trash Magnet - (BG2)
Ordinary street garbage becomes the Bone Gnawer's ally as it swirls about his opponent or engulfs his rival. All the trash nearby assails the target of this Gift, making life difficulty. Older Bone Gnawers can completely immobilise a smart-mouth, upstart Garou in heaps of trash and piles of garbage. Trash spirits teach this Gift, although Rat-spirits teach a version that animates sewer flotsam.
System: The player rolls Charisma + Streetwise (difficulty 7) to determine the amount of trash involved. With one success, a minor distraction of newspapers and plastic bags causes a small increase in difficulties. With 5 successes, the target is buried in garbage and must dig his way to freedom. This Gift affects toxic waste as well. Note that this Gift does not create trash but instead draws upon the garbage in an area. An attempt to use this Gift in a sterile environment would fail.
· Tread Sebek's Back - (SS2)
A Silent Strider may call on the rover to support her steps. By activating this Gift, a Strider may walk or run across water or other liquids. However, her feet are not protected - running across a pit of Wyrm-toxin is still a hazardous enterprise. Some Striders are rumoured to have crossed seas by use of this Gift. It is taught by a Crocodile or Basilisk spirit.
System: The Strider spends a Gnosis point and rolls Dexterity + Survival (difficulty 7). Each sucess allows her to travel across water as if it were open ground for an hour.
· Troll Skin - (GF2)
With this Gift, a Garou can make her skin grow tough and thick, covered with warty knots of hard, armored flesh. This Gift is taught by an Earth Elemental.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Stamina + Primal-Urge (difficulty 7). For each success, the Garou receives one extra die on her soak roll. This Gift does not protect against fire or silver, and lasts for one scene. However, when imbued with Troll Skin, the Garou is +1 difficulty on Social rolls due to the ugly skin and its accompanying smell.
· Truce of Helios (Sun Lodge) - (SF2)
Helios is, among other things, a spirit of reason and diplomacy. Garou who follow him are often skilled diplomats. This Gift helps ensure that the other side at least listens to the Garou's words. Helios is also an honorable Celestine; the Silver Fang may not use this Gift as a ruse to gain momentary advantages (gain time to set an ambush, for example). A Garou may learn this Gift from one of the Children of Karnak or from a Firebird-spirit.
System: The player must roll Charisma + Etiquette (difficulty 7). If successful, the Silver Fang negotiates under a spiritually enforced flag of truce. All those whom he negotiates with must make Willpower rolls (difficulty 9, two successes needed) to attack the Garou. The truce lasts one hour for each success rolled. If the Silver Fang breaks the words of the truce, the effects of the Gift end and will never work on the same target again. Additionally, the Silver Fang loses three points of temporary Honor. This Gift costs a Gnosis point to use.
· True Fear - (Ah2)
The Ahroun can display the true extent of her power, scaring one chosen foe into quiesence for a number of turns. This Gift is taught by a spirit associated with fear.
System: The Garou rolls Strength + Intimidation (difficulty of the target's Willpower). Ech success she achieves cows the enemy for one turn; the victim cannot attack. He may defend himself and otherwise act normally, although given the chance he will probably flee.
· Turtle Shell - (CR2)
The Garou can form a mystic protective shield around herself. The shield appears as a large turtle shell that encases the Garou. The shell is opaque on the outside but translucent from the inside (attackers can't see in, but the Garou can see out). The Garou can choose to encase others in the shell with her. This Gift is taught by a turtle-spirit.
System: The Garou spends one Gnosis point and rolls Stamina + Survival (difficulty 6). For each success, the shell has two soak dice and two Health Levels (when the shell has no more Health Levels, it breaks apart).
In addition, a two-yards radius can be encased per success (two hexes, if miniature rules are used). A Crinos-form Garou requires about that much space to fit into the shell, so with three successes three Crinos-form Garou can fit into the shell (or perhaps six Homid- or Lupus-form Garou or any such combination - Storyteller's discretion).
The shell lasts for one scene or until a Garou decides to break it, which ever comes first. Once its time is up or it is broken (whether by a Garou on the inside or an enemy pounding his way in), the shell disintegrates.
· Uktena's Freezing Stare - (Uk2)
Like a snake mesmerising its prey, the Uktena can paralyse a foe merely by staring into its eyes. This Gift is taught by an avatar of Uktena.
System: The Garou must meet the eyes of whoever she wishes to paralyse, then her player rolls Manipulation + Intimidation (difficulty of the opponent's Willpower). The paralysis lasts one scene or until the foe is physically or magically attacked.
· Umbral Compass (Sky Dancer Camp) - (Uk2)
This Gift helps the Garou cross the Gauntlet and traverse the Umbra more easily. Once in the Umbra, the Gift helps the Garou orient herself so she has less chance of becoming lost or confused as to where she is. Further, it seems to urge the Garou toward a direction she needs to travel. Thus, if something terrible is happening in the Umbra, use of this Gift will point the Garou right toward it. This could be a good thing or very inconvenient and potentially deadly, depending on the Garou's point of view and her ability to talk or fight her way out of difficult situations. This Gift is taught by a Bird spirit.
System: The player rolls Perception + Survival (difficulty 7). A single success allows the Garou to lower the difficulty of crossing the Gauntlet by one and to find her way through the Umbra with little difficulty. If she then needs guidance while in the Umbra, she may roll her Gnosis (difficulty 6) to find her way. Should the Garou using Umbral Compass botch her roll to cross through the Gauntlet, she is allowed to make a single Gnosis roll (difficulty 8) to escape the effects of the botch. Failure on this roll means the botch takes effect as normal, while a botched means the caught Garou is difficult for others to find and free.
· Umbral Tether - (Th2)
Although most Theurges would never admit it, even they can become lost in the spirit world from time to time. This Gift allows the werewolf to spin a spiritual line, resembling spider silk, behind her as she explores the Umbra. Only the Garou using the Gift can see the trail, thus increasing the Theurge's reputation as master of the spirit world. A spider spirit teaches this gift.
System: The player does not need to roll to create the trail, but must spend one Gnosis point for every hour of Umbral travel to maintain it. At dawn, the player must spend an additional Gnosis point to maintain the trail in the physical world. Although only the werewolf using this Gift can see her trail, some Gaffling pests occasionally sever or alter the tail without knowing it.
· Ward of the Road - (BG2)
This allows a Garou to leap from a quickly moving vehicle and remain undamaged. The Gift is taught by a spirit of the road.
System: By spending one Willpower point and scoring at least one success on a Stamina + Survival roll (difficulty 6), the Garou takes no damage from the fall. If he fails, however, he takes full damage; if he botches, he takes double damage (he fell on his ankle, etc.). The Garou can also leap from tall buildings in this manner, but it requires one success per story to negate damage.
· Wearing the Bear Shirt - (GF2)
When a Garou with this gift frenzies, he will always enter a berserk frenzy, never a fox frenzy. This Gift is taught by a Bear-spirit.
System: No roll is required; once this Gift is learned, the effects are automatic. In addition, the Garou can make a Willpower roll to resist any Gifts, Disciplines, Arcanos or other powers that incite fear, even if a resistance roll is normally not allowed.
· Word of Honor - (SF2)
To a Silver Fang, honour is everything. This Gift imbues a Garou's words with his honourable bearing. As long as the Silver Fang speaks the truth, others believe him. An Eagle spirit teaches the Silver Fangs how to speak clear and true.
System: By spending a Gnosis point, the Silver Fang can make every word he says bear the ring of truth. Anyone who listens hears that the Gift user speaks true. Listeners are not necessarily inclined to obey the Fang or follow his suggestions, but the facts are clear. The Silver Fang must speak the truth, or the Gift automatically backfires.
