Emote Animal (Action Powers)

Animal Merge

Stance

You can merge your consciousness with that of an animal or plant. Your body is in a trance while merging, and you are thus automatically surprised if attacked, but you can break the trance at will. While merged, you can communicate with the animal and sense everything the animal experiences. You mentally ride along as the animal moves. Except for perception and detection powers, you cannot use your own abilities through the animal. This is not mind control.

You must touch the animal when first merging. After that, you can maintain the merger over any distance.
