Primary Profession
Related Class: Beast TamerProfession Title: Animal Whisperer
Description: A type of psychologist and career empath geared towards the behaviors of animals both domestic and wild. A natural born talent which is honed through practice and study, not for every person who happens to like critters. An Animal Whisperer is able to calm, tame, and train beasts on behalf of themselves and other people, as well as gain the trust of animals enough to obtain favors. They are able to express the feelings of pets to their owners, and improve relationships between man and beast as a matter of professional courtesy.
Profession Perks:
- Beast Pacification: Through a deep understanding of animals both domestic and wild, Alishar is able to use a variety of fairly basic-seeming interactions which allow him to calm and pacify various beasts which are rambunctious, territorial, or hostile to his presence. Each species has its own body language and preferences, and he's knowledgeable in so many that he can even figure them out by trial and error if he's never encountered or studied them before.
If given the opportunity outside of a fight to interact with any animal, pet, or beast for two posts unhindered by the beast's owner or similar external circumstances (such as combat breaking out), Alishar can render the creature docile and avert conflict entirely. If he happens to own such a similar beast (tiger for tigers, snakes for snakes) he can do this within a single post, instead.
This in no way disables or weakens the creature, it is simply a means to convince them a fight isn't necessary. Requires player permission to use on a player's Beast Tamer Beasts, and GM permission to use on Dungeon Beasts. A Beast Tamer can still fairly easily convince their Beast to fight him even after being affected by this, and the temporary peace ends if hostilities break out or somebody attempts to upset the animal intentionally. - Feral Favor: There are many creatures in this world who are able to decide they like somebody for one reason or another. Some are nebulous in their tastes and earning their loyalty is a feat unto itself, however many beasts are very simple in this matter and could simply be said to 'have a price'. By expending a portion of food, either the systematic version purchaseable in the store, or simply food that is narratively on-hand for whatever reason, Alishar is able to bribe an animal which isn't actively hostile to him in order to get favors from them.
This favor can be anything within the animal's capabilities, be it fetching an item from out of reach to helping him track prey, but this favor ends if the animal suffers any damage. This ability may only affect Beast Tamers' Beasts with permission from the owner's player, and Dungeon Beasts with the GM's Permission. This also tends to fail if the food isn't to the Beast's dietary requirements. - New Dog, New Tricks: It is possible to train animals to perform tricks upon certain commands. If given two uninterrupted posts to interact with a docile animal, he can train it to accept a basic pet command, including 'Sit' 'Stay' 'Roll Over' 'Shake' 'Fetch + Give' 'Kiss' 'Spin' 'Stand' 'Speak' 'Sit Pretty' and 'Hug'. Friendly animals will learn the trick in one post instead.
