System: The player spends one Willpower pointto gain 5 Rage points, which may be used as Garou do.This Gift may be used once per scene, and the Nuwishamay never have more than 5 Rage. While the Nuwishahas Rage, he is vulnerable to silver as Garou are, andsusceptible to frenzy.• Happy Thoughts (Level Three) — With a touch,the Nuwisha takes away another’s Rage. An avatar ofCoyote teaches this Gift.System: The Nuwisha touches his target and theplayer spends one Gnosis point. The target cannot frenzyor spend Rage for the rest of the scene.• Now You Don’t (Level Three) — The Nuwishamay veil one fairly distinct category of objects from another’ssight, such as cars, doors, trees, fences, food, orbaggies of drugs. A bat-spirit teaches this Gift.System: The player spends one Gnosis point and rollsWits + Larceny (difficulty of the target’s Willpower). Theobjects don’t necessarily become invisible — the targetsees what most logically would be there if the namedobject wasn’t. For example, a door would be replaced bya section of blank wall rather than a rectangular hole,while cars and fences would be replaced by nothing atall. The obscured objects remain apparent to all sensesother than sight. This Gift lasts for (Humor) hours.• Pain Remains (Level Three) — Pain usuallymeans little to the Changing Breeds, as their regenerativepowers soon heal most injuries.

The Gift’s effects last so long as the characterdoes not willingly move. Being unwillingly moved,such as being knocked over by someone walking into thewerecoyote, does not break the Gift.• Grasp the Beyond (Level Four, Umbral Danse)— As the Theurge Gift.• Locked Door (Level Four, Umbral Danse) — Asthe Theurge Gift: Blurring the Mirror.• Phantasm (Level Four) — As the Fianna Gift.• Trickster’s Skin (Level Four) — The werecoyotemay “trade skins” for a scene with a target he canperceive, taking on his victim’s voice, appearance, andscent while the victim appears to be the Nuwisha.

While GhostDansing, the Nuwisha may perfectly avoid any attackthat does not strike beings in both the Umbra and theGaia Realm simultaneously by spending one Gnosispoint per attack so dodged.• Playing the Heart-Strings (Level Four) — Truelove comes in many forms. Sometimes it runs smoothly,from a first meeting to first kiss to a lifetime together.Such simple relationships aren’t for this Gift. It is thefirst step in a chain of unlikely events that bring two
