The Spirit World and Gifts in Werewolf (both Apocalypse and Forsaken) where what really drove home the uniqueness of these werewolves from others. you are already a killing machine but here are some extra supernatural powers as well and they are not even strictly combat focused. the way the Gifts work in second edition compared to first edition was a bit confusing to learn at first but I got there and there are some really cool ones also. Rahu and Irraka moon gifts are really fun and make them especially terrifying.
@@AwkwardGMCorbin True but getting a successful surprise attack on a foe early can scare foes into fleeing instead of fighting or at least thin numbers. Granted my Auspice is Crescent moon and Ithaeur don't get as flashy moon gifts as Rahu.
Would you be willing to do a video on the mechanics of the Hisil and how Influence works and all that? Also, I made a whole matrix of the Auspices and Tribes it would be most efficient to take if you wanted to maximize the variety of Gifts available to the Pack with the least amount of redundancy and no Renown stacking at character creation (the rules seem to suggest that starting with more than one dot in a Renown should require an explanation). I started by eliminating all of the Renown and Gift redundancies (leaving only 12 choices out of 5x5=25), and then looked for combos that eliminated the fewest number of other good choices by way of redundancy. Basically, your first choice is Elo Master and Rahu Shadow, or Rahu Master and Elo Talon. I like the first one. Next pack member is an Irraka Talon (STOP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MURDER ME), and the last two are any combination of Caha/Itha and Hunter/Lord. It's different if you go Rahu Master and Elo Talon, of course, but I figured them both out and liked the first one so much more that I actually lost the second build, lol. Also also, I can't read or hear the phrase "Wolf Gift" without chuckling to myself and imagining a werewolf angrily explain that Wolf Gifts are NOT called "Doggie Treats."
Yes please, a video of the different spells werewolves can get would be dope

My Irraka with Eviscerate is scary. But getting Rote for 1 surprise attack is not as good as 8-Again for an entire scene like Rahu get.

I think your delivery and the pacing of the vids is continuing to improve. Love seeing more werewolf videos, thank you!

Appreciate the Forsaken content
Hope it helps!
But, what do we do when we shift.
It's great to learn about these things, even when I have the book something to listen to is easier to digest.
