Description

 * The adept subdues and temporarily controls an animal by making a Dominate Beast test against the target’s Mystic Defense. If successful, he establishes dominance over the animal for a number of minutes equal to his Dominate Beast rank, during which time the animal will not take any hostile action against the adept. The creature may be commanded to perform one simple task posing no more danger to the animal than to the adept and requiring less time to complete than the talent duration allows.
 * Should the adept attempt to use this talent on an animal already under the influence of a similar talent or spell, his test result must exceed the result of the ability affecting the target. If successful, he gains control. Dominate Beast can only be used on non-sentient, natural creatures. It cannot be used to control Horrors, Horror-constructs, or sentient beings of any kind.
