New and Revised Gifts
Basic Gifts
Resist Toxin
Wyrm HideBy using this gift, Garou can add two "tough" traits to their physical stats, and call for one retest of a physical challenge in which they take damage. It costs one gnosis to use and lasts for one scene.
Sense WyldSame as the Metis gift, except that this detects normal garou, wyld spirits, and gangrel that would not have any wyrm taint.
Call of the WyrmSame as the Galliard gift.
Sense Wyrm
Intermediate Gifts
Bane ProtectorThis gift allows a Garou to summon nearby banes and command them to assist. The Dancer must spend a gnosis, and if the bane is unwilling to aid, it may be compelled to do so if defeated in a social challenge. The banes summoned will never allow themselves to be placed in great danger.
Mordred's TouchThis Black Spiral gift is used to heal damage during combat. One level of damage is transferred to another person using this gift. A hit must be scored before activating this gift. Such a hit may be with claws or teeth, and damage is taken from the attack as normal. For regular damage, a simple test is needed. If the test is won or tied, the damage level is transferred. If the wounds are aggravated, a gnosis trait must be expended. If the test is won, that damage transferred is taken as aggravated, if tied the damage taken is normal and if the test is lost, no damage is transferred.
Howl of the Banshee
Foaming FuryThe saliva of a Garou using this gift is poisonous, and any being taking damage from a bite must make a frenzy check. It costs one gnosis to use and lasts for one hour.
Advanced Gifts
Crawling PoisonThis gift corrupts the blood of the Dancer, making it toxic. When another creature is infected by this toxin through a bite or claw, it slows down the healing process to one tenth its normal rate. This lasts until a rite of cleansing is performed and at least one day has passed.
Mask the Wyrm
With this gift, Black Spiral Dancers may hide its corruption from all creation. By spending a gnosis, the garou can disguise its scent as either wyld or weaver. Those using Sense Wyrm upon winning their first test have to complete a mental test against the user.
