Rank 4 Silver Fang Gift
There are two nearly identical but mechanically different versions of this gift. We believe these are intended to be the same gift and that a player should not be able to possess both versions.
Player’s Guide 2nd Edition Version (Ignore Death Blow): Tales say that the first Silver Fang died and was reborn; since that time, the Fangs have passed won this Gift. A Fang with this Gift can choose to ignore what would be a killing blow. This Gift is taught by a lion-spirit.
System: Once per scene, the Fang can spend a Willpower point and ignore all damage from a single attack. The damage simply does not occur; no special handicaps take effect, either.
20th Anniversary Version (Sidestep Death): Old legends say that when the first Silver Fang died, he was reborn with this Gift. A Fang with this Gift simply sidesteps what would have become his deathblow. A lion-spirit teaches this Gift.
System: Once per scene, the player may spend three Willpower points to evade a single attack that would inflict enough damage to place the Fang’s health levels below Crippled (before soak). The Garou simply appears instantly at the nearest location not affected by the attack, which may be an inch, a mile or more.

The Ignore Death Blow version was updated to Rank 5 in WW3806 Players Guide to Garou. Just FYI.
