Effect
Spend 10 minutes with a domesticated or wild animal. Make a SWAY + Handling check:
- TN 11 (domesticated): Learn whether other humans have passed through recently, the direction of water, or the general “mood” of the area.
- TN 13 (wild): As above, plus whether predators are nearby or Veil-Born creatures have been active.
- TN 15 (predator): As above, plus the predator’s hunting territory and recent kills.
Special
Animals you’ve spent a full day bonding with no longer bolt during Veil events (supernatural fear). They trust you enough to hold steady, though they remain visibly distressed.
