Gifts of the Beast

So we beseech thee, our Huntmaster, to gift this humble pack. Allow us to experience the thrill of our brethren of the wild. The pike, the badger, the hawk, the puma. Let us feel what they feel, let us hunt as they hunt. Grant us this gift, this chance to learn from nature's finest teachers, the huntmasters of the kingdom of Beasts. Let us continue to be ever eager students, and give us the chance to learn from experience.

The final stanza of the prayer Gifts of the Beast

Effect

Basic Effects: As you call upon this divine power, this Prayer, you and all your allies will be temporarily changed, you will experience a touch of real divinity, as you are altered, as you experience certain traits humanoids long ago shed, or have never had. The priest calling upon this prayer must pick which of the four options below they were praying for;

• Badger: Growing shovel like claws, eyesight dimming, sense of smell heightening, and suddenly you can feel movements near you through the very ground you walk on. All those effected gain a burrow speed equal to 1/2 their movement speed, two claw attacks dealing 1d6 each, +2 to Power and Toughness, Light Sensitivity, Darkvision 60 feet, Tremorsense 60 feet, and Strong Sense (Scent) from the Bestiary's list of creature traits.
  
  Hawk: Sprouting wings from the shoulders, painlessly, your vision sharpens massively, your mind races as you feel the sheer mastery of flight, the instinctual understanding of a hawk move through your mind. All those effected gain a fly speed equal to double their movement speed, +2 to Agility and Sagacity, along with Aerial Combatant, and Strong Sense (Sight) from the Bestiary's list of creature traits.
  
  Pike: Feeling cold and wet, as your neck strangely, but painlessly changes, webbing grows between your toes and fingers, your body feeling streamlined, feeling made for the water. All creatures effected gain the ability to breath underwater, gain a swim speed equal to double their movement speed, +4 Power, and +2 Natural Armor.
  
  Puma: You feel your hearing, sight and smell all focus, all tighten, those sense coming to life. You feel light on your feet, and feel your grip tighten in a fashion, feeling exceedingly well balanced and comfortable, sure footed.

Tier II Effects: Lasts for 6 hours.

Tier III Effects: Lasts for 8 hours.

Manifestation

You feel a strange sensation, your body changing, your senses altering, some of them focusing, some of them fading, as divine power pulses through you. You feel the bestial essence within, being drawn forth, the spirit of a beast touching your own, passing some of its natural knowledge. You feel no pain from these alterations to your physical form, and can tell they are almost as much energy and belief as they are physical and by no means are they permanent.
