Natural Animals

For the purposes of Charms, a "natural animal" is a creature native to Creation with no inherent magical powers. If the Storyteller cannot determine whether to consider an animal natural, she can allow the use of Charms that affect natural animals but impose a +2 difficulty penalty on any relevant rolls. Natural animals do not speak any languages. They are valid targets for social attacks, but only insofar as they understand the orders and ideas presented. Herbivores and domestic animals have a Motivation to achieve comfort and happiness. Most predators have a Motivation to live, hunt and breed in the wild. This makes them more difficult to domesticate.
