Introduction 
The gifts used by the garou and fera are often old classics. Secrets passed down from generation to 
generation or learned from ancient spirits. Sure, the Glass Walkers and the Bone Gnawers and 
some others barter with the spirit of Skyscraper instead of Mountain but it is still just animism. 
Only rarely does Gaias defenders look around at their supernatural neighbors in the shadows and 
go ”That is neat, I want some of that”. But sometimes they do. Most of them lie afterwards, 
claiming that this or that rare spirit thought them instead of them learning it from the fae or the 
witches or the blood suckers. But that they are a little bit shameful does not make these gifts any 
less useful or powerful.

Rank 1 Gifts 
The results of back alley deals, forbidden love affairs, raids of libraries or crypts. Just scraps of 
power, but power nonetheless. 

Leech 
Rank 1 gift 
The blood drinkers are so common this close to the apocalypse that a garou pack can spend a 
lifetime fighting nothing else. The vampires are tough to put down and their ability to reinvigorate 
themselves with the blood of their enemies is enviable. And where there exists envy there exists a 
will to copy. And where there is a will... 
System​: When drinking enough of the blood of a mortal to seriously hurt the mortal the garou 
gains one point of rage and one point of gnosis. 
A vampire or another garou teaches this gift. 
 

Child of the mists 

Rank 1 gift 
The changelings and fairies sometimes complains about the inability of humans to remember 
them. They speak in metaphors about the mists of dream over late night drinks shared with Fiana 
warriors and Get of Fenris mystics. Some of those mystics listened and learned. To remain 
forgotten is not the same curse for the warriors of Gaia as it is for the emissaries of dreams. 
System​: When the garou causes the delerium she can spend one point of gnosis. This makes 
everyone affected by the delerium totally unable to remember anything at all about the incident. 
No supernatural power or process can restore the memories and the affected will move on with 
their lives as if nothing happened. 
A fey creature or another garou teaches this gift. 

Gun! 
Rank 1 gift 
Sometimes a willworker just make changes happen in a way that makes no sense. The world is just 
suddenly different and everybody else have to move if they want to keep up. Some of them thinks 
that gnosis is the thing that makes up the reality, and some of them think that it can be used to 
change reality. People are already afraid of there being an active shooter in their school, workplace 
or nearby supermarket. This gift blends that fear with gnosis and makes it a little bit more real, 
System​: The user of the gift points at someone, spends one point of gnosis and shouts ”Gun!”. 
That person is now holding a loaded gun pointed at someone's head. 
A mage or another garou teaches this gift. 

3
Rank 2 Gifts 
Real familiarity or real contempt creates the circumstances for gifts of this level to exist. 
Werewolves who have fought besides or against enemies for generation develop these deadly twists 
on their enemies or allies abilities. 

Dream talons 
Rank 2 gift 
The changelings and fey talk a big game about being champions of dreams and wonder. But they 
fall to the Wyrm like everybody else. They are just a whole lot harder to stop when they do. This 
little trick makes things a lot easier. 
System​: The garou spends on point of rage and her teeth and claws turns into cold iron for the rest 
of the scene. 
A dark fey creature or another garou teaches this gift. 
 

Dream portal 
Rank 2 gift 
The dreams of mortals are potent portals to the other side, if you know how to use them right. 
With this gift the garou can hijack the dreams of a nearby sleeping mortal and use them to travel to 
the umbra without the use of a mirror. 
System​: If the garou is in the same scene as a sleeping mortal she can travel to the umbra as if she 
had the use of a mirror. 
A changeling or mage teaches this gift. 
 

Asp tongue 
Rank 2 gift 
The vampires come in many different types, some seem to belong to an entirely different species. 
The egyptian breed seems especially vicious with almost as many natural weapons as the garou, 
weapons that can be stolen and used against them. 
System​: The garou spends one turn changing her tongue into a deadly weapon. She can then use 
this impossibly long and sharp tongue as a weapon, no matter her form. The tongue uses the same 
rules as claws in Crinos form but can be used at medium range. 
A snakelike vampire or another garou teaches this gift. 

4
Rank 3 Gifts 
At this point just being exposed to the use of a different type of beings magics is not enough. These 
are gifts developed from knowledge gained from dissection tables and spirit quests. Real 
knowledge, will and time have been used in crafting them. 

Sterilize 
Rank 3 gift 
When fighting witches there is nothing more important than to not leave parts of yourself behind. 
Blood, fur or knocked out teeth can all be used against you. This gift cleans up all evidence that 
you having been present making it both harder to track you and harder to use ritual magicks 
against you. 
System​: The garou spends one point of gnosis and dedicates one round to concentrating. This 
cleans up everything that can link them or anybody else to the place where the gift is used. 
Another garou teaches this gift. 
 

Only serve the strong 

Rank 3 gift 
Say what you want about the leeches but they know hierarchy. It is a twisted hierarchy of course, 
but everyone knows their place since they can not use their power on their superiors. By using this 
gift the Garou can enforce the same hierarchy. 
System​: The garou spends 1 willpower and for the rest of the scene she is immune to all mental 
powers from Garou or Fera of equal or lower rank. 
Another garou teaches this gift. 
 

Alchemy 
Rank 3 gift 
This gift was designed to combat changelings and fey hunters who desires captured Garou as slaves 
or pets. It gives them a taste of their own medicine. 
System​: The garou spends one round and one point of gnosis and one silver object they focus on 
turns into cold iron. 
Another garou teaches this gift.

Rank 4 Gifts 
If rank 3 gifts are the results of study then rank 4 gifts are the sign of mastery. Someone has taken 
apart the metaphysics of a cantrip or spell and learned how to put it together in a new way. If you 
change the working parts what you get is a different machine, and these gifts are machines built for 
the garou. 

Mistform 
Rank 4 gift 
The werewolf have stolen one of the greatest tricks from the animalistic vampires who sometimes 
challenge them for their territory and made it their own. The werewolf turns from flesh and blood 
into mist and can escape situations that should be the end of them 
System​: The garou spends one point of rage and turns into a cloud of mist for the rest of the scene 
or she ends the power. While in mistform the garou can not attack but can only be hurt by fire. 
A truly ancient vampire or another garou teaches this gift. 

Umbral reality 
Rank 4 gift 
The changelings talk about making dreams and phantoms come alive and dance with the mortals. 
Their power was the key to creating this gift, for what is the spirits if not dreams and phantoms? 
The garou using this gift rips a hole in the umbra and let’s the local spirits into the world, if only 
for a few moments. 
System​: The garou spends one point of gnosis and one point of willpower and rolls intelligence + 
occult, difficulty 6. For each success each spirit present in the local umbra can act freely in the 
scene for one round. 
A truly ancient fae or another garou teaches this gift. 

Banality beam 
Rank 4 gift 
Bills to pay, chores to do, dreams to let go off, talent wasted in dead end jobs and cynical skepticism 
can all slowly break down the magics of changelings and mages. This gift weaponises that fact. It 
takes everything ugly and mundane and boring in life and focuses it into a laser beam of banality 
that unmakes dreams and makes magick impossible. 
System​: The garou spends 1 point of gnosis and rolls current willpower to hit the target who can 
dodge the attack as normal. If hit a changelings instantly suffers horrible pain and gains 3 points of 
permanent banality. If the beam hits a mage that mage can not use any magick for the rest of the 
scene. 
A technomancer, Drone or another garou teaches this gift. 

6
Rank 5 Gifts 
Sometimes gaining the height of power is more about being in the right place at the right time. 
Gifts of this magnitudes all have a story behind them. The story of how some legendary garou 
almost succumbed to the curse of the blood drinkers or when old One-Eye-Two-Fists merged 
together with the soul of an ancient troll lord. The gifts are prizes from such encounters won by 
the garou. 

Warform 
Rank 5 gift 
The vampires have many different warforms. Several different clans and bloodlines have their own 
unique strain or type. This gift have taken the power behind them and adds that power to the 
werewolf Crinos form. It looks like a twisted hulked out version of the Crinos form. Simply more 
of everything. 
System​: The garou, while in crinos form, spends 1 rage and rolls stamina + primal urge and spends 
one round entering the warform. The amount of success is the amount of rounds the garou can 
spend in the Warform. The warform increases all the werewolves physical attributes by 10and gives 
her 10 extra soak dice capable of soaking aggravated damage. 
Another garou teaches this gift. 
 

Reincarnation 
Rank 5 gift 
The changelings are just fey beings hiding in mortal flesh, reincarnating over and over again. They 
are not so different from the garou really. But the changelings do it a lot more efficiently. This gift 
combines the changeling way with the arts of the spirit practiced by the garou and enables mighty 
garou warriors to return from the dead as soon as the moon is full. 
System​: Upon dying the garou spends 1 gnosis. As long as she has a blood related kinfolk that lives 
her soul and spirit is sent straight into that kinfolk. The kinfolks body falls unconscious until the 
next full moon when it transforms into a copy of the dead garou’s and the garou awaken. The 
garous gnosis, willpower and rage is permanently reduced by 1 and cannot be raised ever again. 
Another garou teaches this gift.

Weapons bane 
Rank 5 gift 
Mages break things. They talk and talk and talk but the essence of magic is destroying that which 
should not be destroyed. The garou knows that this is sometimes the only way. But this gift takes 
this power and channels it into destroying the sacred weapons of the garou. An inherently heretical 
act. But when you are alone and they come after you with their fathers grand klaives you will need 
it. 
System​: When hit by a fetish weapon the garou spends one point of rage and the weapon is 
instantly destroyed 
Another garou teaches this gift.
