Introduction
The Skin Dancer tribe have in many ways gotten the short end of the stick. They are a terrifying
new enemy for both the Garou nation and the Black Spiral Dancers with all the potential in the
world to become memorable antagonistis or anti-heroic protagonists. But in the game as it
stands today they only have two tribe gifts, leaving them not only substantially weaker than their
opponents in the game world but also less suited for being player characters. This short
supplement aims to correct this. While it contains no new fluff it holds 15 new gifts, 3 for each
rank of power attainable in most campaigns, exclusively for the Skin Dancers.

Rank 1 Gifts
The first trembling steps of power. This is where the Skin Dancer begins the journey that may
take her toward becoming one of the first legends of her tribe. Many self made garou won’t have
the chance to learn gifts beyond this level as they will be cut down while still in their youth by
jealous garou.

Don’t stop
Rank 1 Skin Dancer gift
Madness, real madness, can drive a fist through a wooden plank. It can make someone slam a
car through the wall of a house and it can drive a person beyond all known or suspected limits.
In the hands of a newly reborn Garou it will do more than that. When she activates this gift the
Skin Dancer can’t be stopped by anything in the physical world. She can run straight through a
brick wall or ram a car through a bank vault.
System​​: Spend a rage to activate this gift for the rest of the scene.
A spirit of madness teaches this gift.

Kill Count
Rank 1 Skin Dancer gift
All Skin Dancers are werewolf hunters. At least that is still the case. But now they find
themselves in the position of having to deal with infiltrators and claw to claw combat with other
werewolves. This gift tells them how many werewolves an individual has killed. Fewer than five
and it is not another Skin Dancer. Too many and it might be time to run.
System​​: The Skin Dancer rolls Perception + Empathy. Only a single success is needed.
A firearms spirit teaches this gift.

Primal magnetism
Rank 1 Skin Dancer gift

is male maximising the chance of producing several children.

in the scene.
This Gift is taught by a servant of Minotaur.
Rank 2 Gifts
These gifts are ones that the Skin Dancer can pick up once she have become more comfortable
in her stolen skin. They are useful and will remain so through the Skin Dancers career and life
but they are not the really powerful magic that the Skin Dancer will gain access to once she
have become more experienced.

Flaying
Rank 2 Skin Dancer gift
The Skin Dancers need werewolf pelts in order to allow more kinfolk to perform the rite of
sacred rebirth. This gift makes it easier for a Skin Dancer to steal them with her. With one great

and looks like a prepared pelt.

Rough tongue
Rank 2 Skin Dancer gift

that it drags down into the Skin Dancers belly. Using this tongue the Skin Dancer can clean a
room (or a similarly sized area) from all evidence i a matter of seconds. This includes making it
impossible to collect DNA or fingerprints from the area.

her tongue does the work,
A cannibal spirit teaches this gift.

Big Iron
Rank 2 Skin Dancer gift

System​​: The Skin Dancer spends one rage and the firearm she is holding does aggravated
damage until the end of the scene.
