Effect

No Rouse Check is required. Resolve + Animalism contests Composure + Subterfuge. A win reveals whether the subject is hostile and whether they possess a supernatural Beast. A critical win also identifies the creature type and its Hunger or Rage level.
The power can be used deliberately to assess someone or as a response to concealed aggression.
