Gifts
Leaf
Whereas the Ragabash are the traditional tricksters and questioners of Garou society, the Leaf simply takes a stealthier, sneakier occupancy. Not only must the Leaf excel at stealth but skulduggery and sabotage, like the feared Vietcong sappers. The Leaf is the assassin and social underminer both, and her Gifts reflect these shady tasks. The Leaf Auspice corresponds to the element of the air, the east direction, and leans towards Yang.

Luck of the Stars (Level Three) - In the Orient, a great deal is placed on divination arts and omens. This Gift allows a bit of karmic manipulation, allowing the Leaf to grant another great fortune in whatever activities the subject chooses to do. This luck may even be applied to one's self, though it is always bad karma to take advantage of the gods' blessings, and such use of this Gift should come sparingly. The gods have been known to punish greedy shapechangers. An Ancestor-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: The hengeyokai rolls Intelligence+Metaphysics (the Secondary Ability of Divination may be used instead) at difficulty 9 and spends 1 Gnosis point. For the duration of the Story, the character has one lucky roll to apply either to himself or to another of his choosing. This Gift may only be used once per Story. The luck comes in the form of enabling the character to ignore one botched roll (the roll is rerolled -- a second botch holds true, however).
