Name: Speech of Kin

Level: Basic

Cost: 1 Gnosis

Duration: Instant

Flavor: As lord of the beast you can commune with them and they obey your commands

Effect:

By looking into the eyes of an animal and perhaps making some related sound (like growling or hissing), you are capable of communicating with the creature. Your predatory nature allows you to understand and cow natural creatures. Depending on your predilections, you may deal with the animal equitably, or you may demand obedience. When you activate Feral Whispers, the power lasts for an hour or until the animal is no longer subject to your gaze. You may communicate with animals without any test. However, to issue commands you must defeat the in a Challenge. If you succeed, you can count on the animal following your orders for the remainder of the evening. Most animals lack the complex intelligence required for conditional commands, but they can perform simple tasks like fetching, following people or guarding locations.

By uttering a howl or other animal noise, you can summon animals to your side. Depending on how you couch your call, you can summon all animals of a particular type within the area, or just a few. The creatures hasten to your Beckoning, ready to aid or simply to provide nourishment. Though animals called by this power do not fall under your control automatically, they are at least favorably inclined toward you. You must spend an Animal Ken retest for each animal that you summon. Only animals that can hear the summon respond, and animals summoned with this power may take some time to arrive. Animals summoned remain for an hour, or until they are attacked or threatened. You can use other Animalism powers normally on the animals you Beckon.
