Primalist Ability Suggestion: Animal Signal

Post by Marcuson »

Compared to others with druidic bonds, Primalists, through their studies, have a greater awareness of the living beings surrounding them. When the Primalist is in an area populated by natural creatures, and this ability is used, the Primalist reaches out to these beasts through their druidic bond, declaring their presence and signalling their intent. Based upon the Primalist's choice, this may accomplish one of three things.

Challenge: The Primalist declares their intention to fight. Beasts are more aggressive and numerous, and there is an increased chance for rarer versions of these beasts to show up. (Unusual pelt colors, stronger/larger beasts, etc.)

Entreat: The Primalist asks the beasts for peace. Beasts are calmer and fewer. The Primalist is less likely to be noticed. (The Primalist receives a version of Footpad that applies to beasts.)

Soothe: For this ritual to work, the Primalist must be completely alone in the area throughout the entire duration. The Primalists approaches the beasts with a wish for restoration. Injured beasts will be healed. (Any injured beasts will be treated as if they had received Vitality. If the ritual is interrupted, the beasts immediately become hostile and the Primalist receives psychic backlash.)

While using any sort of Animal Signal, the Primalist's sanity is gradually chipped away, depending upon their ability to resist such effects.

(Soothe is a bit incomplete, but I thought I'd go ahead and make this post!)
