Domain: Fauna
Your mastery of ranger lore allows you to establish a powerful link to beasts and to the land around you.
- You have an innate ability to communicate with beasts, and they recognize you as a kindred spirit. Beasts can understand your speech, and you gain the ability to decipher their noises and motions.
- Most beasts lack the intelligence to convey or understand sophisticated concepts, but a friendly beast could relay what it has seen or heard in the recent past. This ability doesn’t grant you friendship with beasts, though you can combine this ability with gifts to curry favor with them as you would with any nonplayer character.
- Through sounds and gestures, you can communicate simple ideas to a beast as an action, and can read its basic mood and intent.
- You learn its emotional state, whether it is affected by magic of any sort, its short-term needs (such as food or safety), and actions you can take (if any) to persuade it to not attack.
