Rank 2 Ahroun Gifts

Dark forces conspire to turn the Garou against one another in these fallen days. Between the mind-bending powers of the Leeches, the meddling of mages, and the Thrall of the Wyrm, every pack fears the day when its Ahroun defender turns his claws on them instead of the enemy. The werewolf who learns this Gift pledges a vow of loyalty to his sisters and brothers in arms, as proof against anything that could tear open a rift between them. A wolf-spirit teaches this Gift.

The Garou were chosen as Gaia's protectors, but even protectors need protecting occasionally. That's where the Ahroun come in. With a fierce snarl and a show of might, the werewolf convinces the enemy that he's the greatest threat on the battlefield (they're probably right!) and needs to be taken down first. An ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.

By slaying a Wyrm beast (or other enemy, shameful though inter-tribal conflicts may be) in a particularly spectacular fashion, the Ahroun can inspire all allies who have her in their line of sight to fight harder through her example. A hawk-spirit teaches this Gift.

As consummate warriors, Ahroun must be prepared for every eventuality -- including silver weaponry. This Gift, taught by Lunes, allows the Ahroun to detect the presence of silver.

Such is the Rage burning within an Ahroun’s heart that all lesser furies quail before it. A wolverine-spirit teaches this Gift.

This Gift allows the Ahroun to attack with lightning speed, striking before any foe. A cat-spirit teaches this Gift.

Garou are by nature beings half of corporeal flesh and half of spirit ephemera, living in two worlds simultaneously. By calling upon this Gift, an Ahroun manifests her spiritual nature more strongly than physical for a brief period, allowing her claws to cut through defenses they could never normally pierce. This Gift has no effect on creatures that are half spirit already like other Garou, fomori and changelings. But any being entirely of one world, such as Banes, vampires, ghosts or animals, is vulnerable to its sting. Any spirit of war can teach this Gift.

The Ahroun can display the true extent of her power, scaring one chosen foe into quiescence for a number of turns. Spirits of fear teach this Gift.
