Call of Nature “When Mother Nature calls, you better answer.”

The power to command creatures.
Used by Fred Bear, Created by Lord_of_Clueless.
(This Effect may or may not be obviously Alien when used. When activating this Effect, it is obvious you are interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using Dog whistle.)

Fred takes a deep and begins to howl. The creature in question feels the wish of Fred, stemming from his love for the animal kingdom.

“A man raised by animal, is that still even a man? What makes you human? The place you were born in or is it maybe the people who have raised you? The only thing that I know is, that a man who is honest to himself is a man in my eyes.”

Exert your Mind and spend a Free Action. Select a Non-Alien Creature within 20 feet. You must actively and obviously use Dog whistle to activate this Effect.

For the next day, you may issue specific commands to your target which they will be compelled to follow.

Your commands can be complex and multi-layered, though they must still be specific. You cannot make them obviously endanger themselves or violate their instinct for self-preservation. The effects of the command will fade after a day has passed.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Tree Hugger.

  • All commands can be issued as a Free Action, not just the initial activation.
  • Your commands must be directly communicated to your target in some way, though this does not require a shared language.
  • If targeting a Sapient target that counts as a Creature due to an Effect, you must succeed a contested Mind roll. You roll at Difficulty 6, and the target rolls at Difficulty 8.
  • Targets with Body ratings higher than 10 require a Charisma + Animals roll resisted by the target’s Body. Kaiju and environment-scale targets are immune.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
