The enigmatic Striders possess of travel and speed.

Sense Wyrm (Level One):

 As the metis Gift.

Silence (Level One):

 The Garou can muffle any sound she makes, the better to creep up on an enemy or escape unnoticed. An owl-spirit teaches this Gift.

Speed of Thought (Level One):

 The Garou doubles her running speed. A roadrunner- or cheetah-spirit teaches this Gift.

Blissful Ignorance (Level Two):

 As the Ragabash Gift.

Messenger’s Fortitude (Level Two):

The Garou can run at full speed for three days without rest, food or water. When the Garou reaches her destination, she has 10 minutes to complete whatever business brought her, then she must sleep for three days. A camel- or wolf-spirit teaches this Gift.

Adaptation (Level Three):

The Garou takes no damage from poison or disease, and he may exist in any environment, regardless of pressure, temperature or atmospheric condition. This Gift does not protect the Garou from hazardous situations (like falling), only hazardous environments. A bear-spirit teaches this Gift.

Great Leap (Level Three):

 The Strider with this Gift can jump truly astounding distances. A jackrabbit-spirit teaches this Gift.

Attunement (Level Four):

As the Bone Gnawer Gift, with one exception; when the Garou learns the Gift, she must choose if it functions in the city or the wilderness. The “city” version is identical to the Bone Gnawer Gift. The “wilderness” version is similar, but the roll required is Perception + Survival.

Speed Beyond Thought (Level Four):

The Garou can run at ten times his normal land speed. The effects last for up to eight hours, during which the Garou can do nothing but concentrate on running. When the Gift’s effects end, the Garou must eat immediately or face frenzy from hunger. A cheetah- or air-spirit teaches this Gift.

Gate of the Moon (Level Five):

This Gift creates a specialised moon bridge that takes the Strider to her destination instantly. At least a sliver of the moon must be visible at her area of departure. A Lune teaches this Gift.

Reach the Umbra (Level Five):

 The Garou may step into and out of Umbra at will, without need of a reflective surface or even any effort at all. An owl-spirit teaches this Gift.
