Something about your character gives off a wild resonance, as if his blood were old and his roots were deep. This aura grants him a kind of de facto clout over other shapechangers both of his kind and of other races.

Each dot possessed adds a +1 modifier to your character’s [[Persuasion Skill]] or [[Intimidation Skill]] rolls when dealing with any other shapeshifter creature. The aura he gives off is palpable, even if others don’t consciously recognize it.

'''Drawback:''' Each dot possessed also confers a –1 die penalty to any Socialize roll when dealing with other shapechangers. Socializing requires a kind of comfort level, and other beast-men find such intimate social situations uneasy when your character is included. His old blood announces that he’s a top predator, not an amiable chap.
