This build was heavily influenced by Aspect, from GURPS Psionic Powers p. 61.
Beast Soother
Keywords: Resisted (Will).
Full Cost: 2 points/level.
Casting Roll: IQ.
Range: Unlimited.
Duration: Instantaneous.

You can radiate an aura of calm that affects animals around you. All animals you wish to affect resists with Will, at a bonus based on their distance from you (use the bonus under Size on the Size and Speed/Range Table, p. B550). Animals who resist will take note of you, but those you choose to exclude from the effect are not affected at all.

Subjects who fail to resist roll on the Reaction Table (p. B560) with a bonus equal to your Beast-Soother level – or you can add your Beast-Soother level to an Influence Roll (p. B359) against the subject, if you have Animal Empathy. All other modifiers apply – if you try using Beast-Soother on the mama bear whose cubs you threatened, you’ll have to overcome a very large situational penalty. In spite of the name, this spell doesn't just prevent animals from attacking or fleeing from the caster—an affected animal may well fight to protect the source of the soothing presence!

Statistics: Charisma (Accessibility, Animals Only, -25%; Requires IQ vs. Will Roll, -20%; Selective Effect, +20%; Short-Range 2, -20%; Sorcery, -15%) [2/level].
