[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 6915355, member: 6801228"] Ah, okay. Well, I think all this information might end up limiting the ability. As it is written right now though: 1) No it is not, it is an automatic success that requires no roll 2) The number of beasts affected at the same time, unclear but personally if you have a pack, I'd let you effect the leader which will in turn effect the rest of the pack. Over the course of the day, as many as you would like. No limits. 3) As written, no, the ability allows you communicate with beasts, a hyper intelligent beast is still a beast and will still have much of the same body language. It could be cool to have a really smart beast roll deception vs insight though if it wants to fool the ranger. 4) Potentially, but I'd say it depends on what you mean by friend.
