Master of Beasts Technique
Cost: Varies Duration: One day Type: Simple Minimum Charisma: 2 Minimum Essence: 1 Prerequisite Charms: None
The Lunar Exalted are the natural masters of the wilds, and the animals of Creation naturally answer to the authority of these Exalted. A Lunar can use this charm on any single animal within 15 or so yards, provided the beast can clearly hear the exalt as he calls out. The Lunar must make a Charisma + Survival roll, with a difficulty determined by the wildness of the animal. A truly feral beast is only difficulty 1, while domesticated animals raise this difficulty to 3. If the Lunar tries to use ths charm on a Familiar the difficulty of the roll is 5. If the animal is successfully mastered, the Lunar gains sufficient points in the Familiar background to have the animal as a pet with no supernatural or unusual abilities. An animal that was already a familiar is now treated as having two owners but will primarily obey its actual master.
The activation cost of this charm depends upon the type of animal being called, with the actual cost being identical to the point-value of an equilivalent Familiar. Thus a cat would require 1 mote, while a elephant would require 4 motes. A Lunar cannot use this charm on Majestic Creatures or God-Blooded Animals until he achieves an Essence rating of 3.
