Choose one Gift from a list associated with your character’s auspice and tribe, and one from a list of your choice. The Father Wolf and Mother Luna lists are also affiliated with all werewolves. Ghost Wolves get one Gift from among their auspice-affiliated lists, one from the common lists and one from any list of the player’s choice. Your highest-dot Gift cannot exceed your character’s highest primary Renown. The only lists from which you cannot choose Gifts are those that are synonymous with auspices other than your own: Full Moon (Rahu), Gibbous Moon (Cahalith), Half Moon (Elodoth), Crescent Moon (Ithaeur) and New Moon (Irraka).

Your character’s third Gift at character creation — your free pick from any Gift list — can also be traded for one dot in Rituals, which grants one free one-dot rite from the lists on pp. 147-152.
