This awe-inspiring Gift is only available to the greatest Strider heroes. The Strider must be in Homid form, spend a Gnosis and a Willpower point, and must enact a 10-minute chant to the greatest of ancient Egyptian spirits. Once this is done, the Garou expands and grows, becoming a giant similar to the depictions of pharaohs on mastabas and sarcophagi. This Gift is taught by Sphinx.
The Garou grows to a height of nearly 8 feet, but otherwise remains in Homid form. The Garou gains the Physical Attributes of a Crinos, but loses no Social Attributes: indeed, the Garou's Charisma and Manipulation are treated as 6 when making Leadership or Intimidation rolls. A Garou is Pharoah form does not inflict aggravated damage, but adds one to all Brawl and Melee damage inflicted against Wyrm-foes (or adds two when facing followers of Set). The Garou regenerates as a Crinos, but gains no vulnerablity to silver and cannot frenzy. Essentially, the Pharaonic form combines the best of Homid and Crinos. The effect lasts for one scene.
