Beasts

This is the Purview of divine authority over the animal kingdom. It holds sway over all animals, as well as the iconic and mythological symbolism which humanity has given to them: the lion’s courage, the eagle’s swift wings and sharp eyes, and the owl’s wisdom are all part of the Beasts Purview

ANIMAL ASPECT

Cost: Imbue 1 Legend

Duration: One scene

Subject: Self

Action: Reflexive
You choose an animal and emulate one of its iconic traits. Pick one of the following benefits:

• Mobility: You can swim like a dolphin, burrow like a termite, or emulate flight with graceful leaps. You can ignore any dangerous or difficult terrain) or complicated passages, barriers, or hazards that form of movement could reasonably bypass.

• Senses: Choose a specific circumstance in which the animal’s senses give an advantage — an eagle’s eyes can see clearly from far away, a bat can echolocate in total darkness, while a dog can track by scent for miles. You have Enhancement 3 on sense-based rolls where that advantage applies.

• Other: Pick a miscellaneous trait, like an octopus’s camouflage, an anglerfish’s bioluminescence, or a peacock’s magnificent plumage. You either have Enhancement 2 on actions that trait benefits, or ignore up to 3 points of Complication it negates, whichever best represents the chosen trait.

You can speak to and understand all animals.

This does not stack with other magical Attitude bonuses.Once you reclaim the Legend from this Boon, your animal helpers will still try to complete your requests, but may become distractible or less reliable, at the Storyguide’s discretion.

Innate Power: Animals will never attack or harm you, unless they are compelled by magic or Legendary creatures themselves.
