Family Ties

Beasts tend to assume that all supernaturals in the Chronicles of Darkness (excluding demons) are part of an extended family, descended from the Dark Mother. They are thus predisposed to be friendly towards and curious about their "kin" and have certain powers to that effect.

A Beast who develops a close relationship (not necessarily a friendship) with another supernatural creature may place the Family Ties condition on that creature. The benefits of this for the beast include: The Beast and their Family Ties gain a bonus on rolls made to assist one another, and the other creature has the option to use the Beast's resistance attributes instead of their own when the Beast is present.
 * It enhances the strength of the Mother's Kiss, allowing a Beast to transfer additional power to the target.
 * It increases the Satiety gained from a Family Dinner.
 * It becomes easier to the Beast to add Chambers to their Lair that were created by the other creature's actions.
 * The Beast can superficially mimic the appearance of another creature, allowing them to pass as one. (This ability does not grant the Beast any additional powers, however.)
 * The Beast can create a custom Nightmare based on the creature with whom they have Family Ties.

Family Ties also comes with certain drawbacks, however. Feeding on the fear of a creature with whom the Beast has Family Ties is more difficult, as is feeding on any creature of the same type. Heroes with the Kinslayer Gift can also target a creature with Family Ties much like a Beast, though they cannot use Anathemas against them.
