Gifts

One of the most

potent powers available to the Garou, this Gift allows the correction of a grievous wrong done to the natural cycle of Gaia. The undead, whose very existence is an affront to the natural order of things, wither and crumble to dust when struck by the power of this Gift. Whether the undead is a shambling, month-old animated corpse or an ancient vampire, the Fang can destroy it with but a glance. Only an avatar of Gaia Herself can teach this Gift.

System: The player and the target enter into a resisted contest of Gnosis versus Willpower (both difficulty 8). If the Garou wins the contest, the undead is reduced to its natural state — fresh corpses simply lose their anima­ tion, whereas an elder vampire would crumble to dust. Mummies are simply banished to a season of sleep. The Garou must spend one Gnosis for every hundred years (or fraction thereof) the undead has existed in its unnatural state; should the target’s age exceed the Garou’s capacity to spend Gnosis points, permanent Gnosis may be sacrificed to account for 500 years of age per dot spent.

Stargazers

The Stargazers’ search for insight and wisdom has naturally led them deep into the spiritual realm. Their Gifts are a by-product of their penchant for visions and riddles, as well as outgrowths of their pursuit of non-lethal combat methods.
