King-of-Beasts

King-of-Beasts is a totem of the Fera.

Overview
The majestic symbol of kings and conquerors, this Lion-spirit roars proud challenges to all rivals. The revered spirit of many Simba prides, King-of-Beasts crushes enemies beneath his mighty paws. His mane is like sunshine and his roar is 500 thunders. No creature can meet his gaze for long; cowering, they slink away and hide. Still, King-of-Beasts is a generous despot. Though he demands total obedience, he gifts those he loves with strength and magical prowess. It’s a rare Bastet who can “afford” this spirit’s patronage, so Simba prides often follow him together (pooling their points as do the Garou with a pack totem). Once, many humans gave homage to this spirit, and he favored them as well. In the modern world, men have grown too “smart” for totems. His allies come from the Bastet, and from some Garou packs.

Traits
This Jamak speaks in formal tones and demands the same from his chosen. Werecats who can meet King-of-Beasts’ high standards might receive one extra dot of Strength in battle and may reduce all Intimidation difficulties by three. Their voices seem to deepen, and those who can see auras notice that the followers seem to blaze with power. The King also teaches many Gifts when he feels a pride is worthy. These benefits extend to every member of the pride that allies itself with the totem (maximum of four characters).

Ban
This spirit is a harsh ally; his followers must bow to his majesty while dominating every other creature in sight. Any faltering or cowardice will cost the entire pride his aid, perhaps forever. Cost 6.
