	====~~Scream of Gaia~~====		====Beast Life====

			Rank 4 Lupus Gift / Rank 4 Children of Gaia Gift

			The werewolf with this Gift can communicate with other wild animals and attract (or even command) them. Domesticated animals will speak with the werewolf, but they have given themselves to the ways of humans and must be persuaded to obey the Garou. Any animal spirit may teach this Gift, although Lion and Bear are most often sought as teachers.

	~~Rank 4 Get~~ of ~~Fenris Gift / Rank 4 Lupus Gift / Rank 4 Wendigo~~ Gift		Children of Gaia: Children of Gaia who use this Gift never do so if the animals attracted would come to harm, unless the very heart of a caern is threatened.

	The ~~Garou emits~~ a ~~horrible~~, ~~ragged scream imbued with Rage~~ and ~~pain~~ of ~~Gaia~~. ~~The force of~~ the ~~scream batters foes and knocks them off their feet~~. ~~Storm-spirits, which~~ the ~~Get call Sturms~~, ~~teach~~ this Gift.		System: The player spends on Gnosis point and rolls Charisma + Animal Ken (difficulty 7). The character gains the ability to communicate with all animals automatically. One success can attract specific types of animals within a 10-mile radius, and those that can reach the werewolf in a reasonable amount of time will do so. Each additional success adds 10 miles (two successes indicate a 20-mile radius). All wild animals become friendly to the character. They follow any reasonable request the character makes, and many unreasonable ones as well. A character who uses this Gift to force an animal to sacrifice itself had best pay homage to its spirit or risk angering Gaia. The effect lasts for one scene, but the time may be extended by spending one Gnosis point per extra scene desired.

	~~System~~: ~~The player spends a Gnosis point and rolls Rage. Everyone within a 50-foot radius is blasted to the ground to suffer one health level of bashing damage per success as a shockwave rips through the area~~.		Source: Core book revised.

	~~The werewolf with this~~ Gift can communicate with other wild animals and attract (or even command) them. Domesticated animals will speak with the werewolf, but they have given themselves to the ways of humans and must be persuaded to obey the Garou. Any animal spirit may teach this Gift, although Lion and Bear are most often sought as teachers.		Rank 4 Lupus Gift

	~~Children~~ of ~~Gaia: Children~~ of ~~Gaia~~ who ~~use this Gift~~ never ~~do so if the animals attracted would come to harm~~, ~~unless~~ the ~~very heart of a caern is threatened~~.		As the time of the Apocalypse draws near, some Garou turn their thoughts to preserving their greatest heroes for the final battle. This Gift is rare, for only Bear himself or one of his avatars can teach it, and he’s reluctant to share his secret. The few werewolves who have impressed him enough to learn it can assume a dormancy that not only staves off the needs of the body, but stops the lupus from aging. Normally, the latter never comes into play, but in desperate times the Garou do what they must.

	System: The player ~~spends on Gnosis point and~~ rolls ~~Charisma~~ + ~~Animal Ken~~ (difficulty 7). ~~The character gains~~ the ~~ability to communicate with~~ all ~~animals automatically~~. ~~One~~ success ~~can attract specific types~~ of ~~animals within a 10-mile radius,~~ and ~~those that can reach the werewolf~~ in ~~a reasonable amount~~ of ~~time will do so~~. ~~Each additional success adds 10 miles (two successes indicate a 20-mile radius).

System: The werewolf must find a quiet, dark spot to sleep and remain undisturbed for at least eight hours while her body enters a state of metabolic suppression. The player rolls Stamina + Survival (difficulty 7) and spends at least one point of both Gnosis and Willpower, which don’t recover during hibernation. A botch on this roll sends the Garou into immediate frenzy, as her body rejects the process. After the first eight hours have passed, the lupus sinks into a state of deep sleep. She needs no food or water, all bodily functions cease, and she doesn’t age. This hibernation lasts one week per success on the roll, though each pair of Gnosis and Willpower points spend in excess of the first increases the internal from weeks into months, years or even decades. No more than three Gnosis and Willpower can be spent to increase the interval, although Galliard tales abound of ancient Garou sleeping under mountains or in the frozen north, waiting for the call to rouse and take up arms against the Wyrm again. The werewolf can be woken prematurely if she takes enough damage to become Wounded or worse, if her player succeeds at a Willpower roll (difficulty 8) or if the rite Call to Arms is performed (Changing Ways p. 157). She can attempt a Willpower roll to wake once per day. As soon as she wakes, whether prematurely or after the full hibernation period has passed, she must roll Rage at -1 difficulty to see if she frenzies, or -2 difficulty if her injuries woke her.

	~~====Venom====~~

	~~Rank 4 Lupus Gift~~

	~~A common trick~~ of desert-dwelling Garou, this Gift allows the user to produce a noxious venom. The werewolf’s bile can incapacitate or even kill a victim. The Garou herself is immune to her own poison, but she can be incapacitated by another Garou’s Venom attack.		====Scream of Gaia====

	~~A rattlesnake-spirit teaches this~~ Gift~~. Most Garou hesitate to make deals with snakes and serpents, but sometimes necessity outweighs prejudice.~~		Rank 4 Get of Fenris Gift / Rank 4 Lupus Gift / Rank 4 Wendigo Gift

	~~System: After making a successful bite attack, the~~ Garou ~~must roll Stamina + Primal-Urge in~~ a ~~resisted roll against the target’s Stamina +4. For every additional success the attacker gets~~, ~~the victim receives an additional nonsoakable, aggravated wound along~~ with ~~whatever damage the bite caused~~. ~~Each success also reduces~~ the ~~target’s Stamina by one level until the victim loses consciousness~~. ~~Additional poisonous bites can force~~ the ~~victim into a coma and eventually kill her~~.		The Garou emits a horrible, ragged scream imbued with Rage and pain of Gaia. The force of the scream batters foes and knocks them off their feet. Storm-spirits, which the Get call Sturms, teach this Gift.

			====Death Whispers====

			Rank 3 Lupus Gift

			The ancient Greeks associated the wolf with death. Hecate wore three wolf heads, while Charon wore wolf ears. Lupus with this Gift echo that connection. By standing entirely still near a recently dead body, the lupus can hear the final worlds of the deceased. These words are often rambling and incoherent, but can provide clues and understanding of what happened at the moment of their death, or of their most prominent thoughts at the moment of their demise.

			System: The lupus must stand next to the corpse and stay entirely still, trying to hear the very soft whispers. The player then rolls Perception + Occult (diff 7). To successfully hear the death whispers, the lupus must obtain more successes than the number of hours the body has been dead. More successes than required increase the clarity of the whisper. This Gift may be attempt only once per dead body.
