Twin Spirits
Similar to the fourth-level power Ride the Wild Mind, this power allows the character to take complete control of an animal as though he were inside it. While he controls the animal, however, he can also move about freely in his own form.
System: Taking control of the animal requires a Manipulation + Intimidation roll (difficulty 6); the number of successes determines the amount of time the character can maintain this split personality.
1 success..................up to one hour
2 successes...............up to six hours
3 successes...............up to one day
4 successes...............up to one week
5 successes...............indefinitely
Because the character maintains his own form while controlling the animal, he does not have to worry about assuming the animal's characteristics after the connection is broken. The character is maintaining two different forms, however, and suffers distractions from the competing sensory input. In effect, the difficulty levels of all rolls he must make while controlling both forms are raised by one.
