Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 6720365" data-attributes="member: 57383">We've basically got two of Von Kharkov's special abilities to consider:He has the domain power "He can place his mind inside that of any cat anywhere in his domain. He cannot control the animal in any way, but he experiences everything that the cat experiences."As well as the Nosferatu power "Anyone who has been bitten by Baron von Kharkov is vulnerable to his call. This call is a telepathic charm that enables von Kharkov to give them instructions from anywhere within Valachan. He cannot see through their eyes, nor can they communicate to him in any way. The bitten victims are allowed a saving throw (no penalties) to resist the charm. They remain vulnerable to his call for the rest of their lives unless a remove curse is cast upon them by a priest of at least 14th level. Over half the population of the domain has been bitten at one time or another."In the case of his Werepanther guards, Von Kharkov could see through their eyes with his domain power and issue them orders with his Nosferatu power.For our Panther Lord, I'm thinking it should be able to use the senses of any feline within range (which includes Werepanthers) but only send commands to its Panther Thralls.The "astral projection" was a reference to him sending his mind into other creatures. I'm not proposing we use the literal astral projection spell although I would consider it. Sending your spirit outside your body feels very shamanic to me, and it does refer to them as having "the powers of a shaman".And, yes I know AD&D "shamans" are very unlike their anthropological real-world equivalents.</blockquote>
