Bond Famulus

Effect

Establishing the bond requires feeding the animal vitae on three separate nights, with a Rouse Check each night. A character may begin play with an existing famulus without paying these checks. Only one famulus can be bound at a time.
Without Feral Whispers, communicate commands through Charisma + Animal Ken; Difficulty 2 is the baseline for a straightforward instruction. More demanding tasks increase the Difficulty. The bond does not make an animal capable of understanding complex plans or remove its normal limits in combat.
Feral Whispers and Subsume the Spirit cost no Rouse Check when used on the famulus. Regular vitae feeding prevents its aging. Death ends the bond and permits a replacement.
