Were-Creature Skills

While Were-Creatures can gain up to five forms, these are not considered 'Skills', and are instead presented as species quests, as the character in question must complete tasks or go through specific experiences to unlock them.

Beast-Speak
(Available to Shifter-parented Beastkin as their starting skill.)


 * 1) The User understands one or two animals of their choosing. (Animals must be specified upon gaining the skill, and must be specific, not general.)
 * 2) The User can speak the language of one animal group -- dogs, cats, mice, hawks, etc.
 * 3) The User can dialogue fluently with all animals of their type, regardless of species. A crocodile-shifter can speak fluently with all reptiles, and a cat-shifter can speak fluently with all mammals. They can attempt to compel animals of their kind to come to their defense, and the animals will do so if the threat is not lethal.
 * 4) The User can speak the languages of all animals, and may compel an additional variety of animal (reptiles in addition to mammals, etc). Their "group" that they belong to will now be compelled to obey the shifter even in lethal conditions unless the animal in question is within 500 feet of a trusted human companion, in which case, the animal will ignore the command if obeying would result in death.
