Path of the Beast

The Path of the Beast (sometimes also referred to as the Path of the Feral Heart) is a Path of Enlightenment common among the Sabbat. It controls the Beast by accepting its urges as natural and accepting their role as a hunter among hunters.

Followers are commonly known as Beasts.

Overview
Originating within the Via Bestiae of the Dark Ages, the Path of the Beast emphasizes the predatory nature of the vampire. Unorganized and shunning the trappings of civilization, followers of the Path often espose technology in favour of their talents inherent to theri undead form. A follower of this Path feels that the Beast is a natural part of being a vampire and that its needs must be satiated. Still, the vampire is intelligent, and a cunning hunter is a more effective one. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between Beast and Man -- the feral cunning and vicious instincts of the vampire are excellent survival tools, tempered by the reasoning and insight of the mind. By satiating the Beast's urges from time to time, the vampire ironically gains a greater degree of personal control.
