Beast Shintai

This Shintai Discipline calls upon the power of the Kuei-jin's P'o to allow him to dominate, control or make use of the beasts of the field. At higher levels, Best Shintai actually allows the user to link with a sort of totem spirit that grants him special powers similar to those of other shen. * Cower Before the Beast By staring into an animal's eyes and releasing his P'o for the briefest of seconds, the Kuei-jin is able to intimidate even the fiercest animals, forcing them to cower or flee in fear ** Animal Spy With this power, the Kuei-jin can 'possess' an animal, forcing it to act as his spy for a brief time. *** Conjuring the Animal Kami A Kuei-jin with this power has the ability to send out a call -- not a vocal call, but a sort of mental compulsion -- that summons to him a specific type of animal. The user may specify a desired species (tigers, birds-of-paradise, rhinos) or a more specific subject (Siberian Tigers, alpha-male wolves). The animals summoned only come if they are within a two-mile radius of the Kuei-jin's location when he makes the call and if they are physically able to do so. This power does not grant the user control over the animals, but those summoned by the call generally seem predisposed toward the Kuei-jin, and may even fight for him if he appears to be in trouble. **** Sway the Beast This power allows the Kuei-jin to infuse a tiny spark of his will into the mind of an animal, forcing that animal to do his biding. The animal can be forced to do anything, including suicidal actions; the Kuei-jin's control overrides its normal fear and self-protection instincts. ***** Unleash the Beast Spirit This power creates such a great connection between the Kuei-jin and nature that the Kuei-jin's own animal spirit manifests itself in physical form. The Kuei-jin undergoes changes similar to those experienced by shapeshifters, becoming sort of a half-man, half-animal, with apropriate abilities.
