Horrors- in work

Beastmaster

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.
