Rank 3 Homid Gift
Garou are half wolf, and so runners after prey. But they are also half human, and thus toolmakers and tool users whose brains and hands enable them to control far more of the cosmos. This Gift allows the Garou to see how any tool fits into the greater “toolmaker puzzle”: the question of how humans can survive their own cleverness. A monkey-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The Garou holds a tool or thinks of a task. She need not be in Homid form, but must be able to do what the Gift requires. She breathes carefully, asking Gaia’s will for the place of the tool or deed; the player rolls Intelligence + Primal-Urge. The Storyteller, based on the number of successes, will allow the Garou some insight into how the tool can be used to affect the web of life. Often in ways that are not obvious. As the Garou doesn’t receive the answer to any one particular question (other than “What can this object/deed accomplish in the greater scheme of things?”), this Gift is mainly useful for gaining “hints” from the Storyteller as needed.
