The werewolf

gains an instinctive rapport with denizens of the Umbra. He can sense the type and approximate Trait levels (Rage, Gnosis, Willpower) of spirits. Owl- and raven-spirits teach this Gift.

System: The player spends one Willpower and rolls Perception + Occult (difficulty 8).

As the lupus Gift. • Sight From Beyond (Level Two) — This is a Gift of prophecy. The werewolf becomes an oracle, prone to dreams and visions which hint at future opportunities, challenges and threats to come. These visions are always veiled in symbolism — an impending war against the local vampires might be presaged by visions of skyscrapers weeping blood from their upper stories, while a death in the sept might be heralded by dreams of a chorus of mournful howls rising to a ghost-pale moon. Owl-spirits teach this Gift.

System: Visions are entirely under the Storyteller’s control and are best handled through roleplaying, though a truly stumped player might ask for a Wits + Occult (dif­ ficulty 7) roll to help interpret a particularly puzzling vision.
