Beastmasters have a skill for working with animals. Many Beastmasters feel uncomfortable in large cities or towns, and prefer to live in the wild, far away from other people. Beastmaster talents often resemble animal powers. Talents of this Discipline can influence aquatic creatures, flying creatures, burrowing creatures, and surface dwellers. They work against enchanted creatures, such as the pegasus, as well as they do against an ordinary house-cat. Many do not work against people or other intelligent life. Most Beastmaster powers do not affect the undead, demonic creatures, elementals, or creatures that are constructs of the Horrors. Important Attributes: Charisma and Toughness Racial Restrictions: Obsidiman, T’skrang Karma Ritual: The Beastmaster walks off a large circle, at least 20 yards in diameter, around the spot on which he or she last slept. The Beastmaster sits in the center of the circle and makes a silent, meditative call to the animals of the area. At the end of the ritual, at least one local animal approaches (but does not enter) the circle. The Beastmaster motions for one animal to enter the circle. The ritual is completed as soon as the animal enters the circle. If the Beastmaster performs this ritual in an area devoid of animals, this lack of response reduces the Karma available to the Beastmaster through this ritual to 2 less Karma Points than he or she would otherwise be allowed. Artisan Skills: Body Painting, Sculpture, Wood Carving
