Your characters are always so interesting* :) How does that Destiny Perk go? It sounds like it maybe should be another trait, like a specialized Animal Empathy or something.

* Thank goodness... this thread was turning a little strange *innocent*

Ehehe, that's one way to put it.

He's already got Animal Empathy, so it would be a little redundant. I'm not sure exactly how the GM is handling it so far, but I suspect there was something like a +1 on a reaction check with a bear in the first session. Or possibly the bear showed up because of the perk!

We are now being followed by another, different bear. It might end up being sort of a trivial bear-oriented Weirdness Magnet, except that Ystava really likes bears so he wouldn't mind it at all. Actually, a Bears aspected Weirdness Magnet is a great idea. :D

Actually, I prefer quippy answers.

Of those, white lightning was the funniest. Dwarves already have enough racial stereotypes, let humans take back "they're all drunks!"

Assuming this is the Minotaur character I keep hearing about that would be epic badassery.
