Talk:Wolf-Kin

Telepathy with Wolves:
I am considering writing up a telepathy with wolves skill with slightly different properties from the traditional telepathy. For now this is simply the telepathy skilled limited to working with wolves only. I may boarden it to include all canids, lcanthropes, and wolf-kin.



Little Dogbrains
We need to keep in mind that wolves have little dogbrains. Their ability to understand, recall, and convey information, or to perform complex tasks, is very limited. We may need to implement something like a Knowledge or Wits check (on the wolf's part) for every datum back or forth through telepathy. Or, we could have something like they are only able to understand the simplest of grammar: sentences can only include a single adjective, noun, verb, all monosyllabic.

This does bring up a separate topic--regarding how specialisations work--but I'll move that discussion over to the forums to avoid threadjacking.

Through the senses!
I expect the communication to be very limited. In the write up I expressed, " Thoughts are projected as sights, sounds, smells, taste, and touch." It is one of the reasons why I might write a unique skill because I do not want it to be a tranmission of words and commands. Telepathy & Empathy & Telempathy but more, all of the senses. I know that there are more than 5 senses, I am being lazy by not typing them out.

One of the reasons why a wolf-kin must spend time with wolves is to get use to communicating with the wolves. Maybe with time and a close bond a wolf-kin could teach "commands" to a wolf but that the wolf would chose to follow but that is the process of learning. The wolves would have no words, unless they are thaught them. Mesages would need to be expressed through senses. Specific combinations my come to be understood as specific things.

Rain: Might be the feeling of wet fur, the image of a dark sky, & the scent of petrichor.
