Path of Beasts
WaterDescrição
Elixir of Bestial Instinct (Alchemy), The Sand of the Body
Shifts (Foreign), Secrets of Isawa Mori (Fortunist)
I have always struggled with the idea that animal spirits are less than human beings; who would not want the reflexes of a fox? The hearing of a bat? Do we not name our clans for these creatures? Such things are not for me to speak of, yet I cannot stop wondering whether reincarnating to such a form would be better than the endless toil of humanity.

- Efeitos
If you succeed, you augment yourself. You gain one of the following effects of your choice, and it persists for a number of rounds equal to one plus your bonus successes:
Eyes of the Falcon: Your eyes transform into those of a falcon. You may reroll up to three dice when making checks to spot details or see things at a distance.
Nose of the Fox: Your nose and mouth elongate into the snout of a fox. You may reroll up to three dice when making checks related to your sense of smell, such as tracking someone down or identifying a substance.
Ears of the Bat: Your ears morph into those of a bat. You may reroll up to three dice when making checks for which your exceptional hearing would be a benefit, such as listening in on a
conversation or listening to an animal’s footfalls before springing a trap.
Might of the Bear: Your body and muscles enlarge to the size of those of a bear. Your silhouette increases to 3, and you may reroll up to three dice when making checks that can take advantage of your size, such as lifting heavy objects or attempting to look intimidating.
Elegance of the Moth: Your skin becomes spotted with patches of the feathery, soft fibers of a moth. Your silhouette decreases to 1, and you may reroll up to three dice when making checks that can take advantage of your lithe figure, such as maneuvering into tight spaces or attempting to evade a critical blow.
