Blessing: Upon being promoted to Clan Leader, the new Leader spends a night of meditation to commune with StarClan, and receive their Blessing. Cats receive nine lives, and will die and be resurrected eight times before permanently joining StarClan. Foxes receive Cunning, allowing them intense knowledge of the world around them (think of this as a precise and always accurate sixth sense). Cervidae receive Swiftness, allowing them to reach impossible levels of speed and agility over or through any terrain (this also causes any deer or elk running with them to gain similar boosts of swiftness, though not quite as intense). Rodents and Mustelids gain extremely strengthened bones and hide, allowing them to easily survive crushing blows that would normally overpower their small mass (this includes things like surviving a fall from a cliff, being stomped underhoof, etc. Note that this does not make them immune, but it does make poisons--or any malice that works from the inside out--their weakness).
