There is some debate in my group over how Nature
Sense works. The player treats it as a suppernatural ability giving
automatic knowlege if something natural is poison ect. regardless of
circumstances. I think that it's more like wolf lore, an understanding
that it's not good for them, but if it's something wolves haven't seen
before or at least within the last couple hundred years, the nature sense
shouldn't work. The example in game is in a mirror world where poison is a
serious issue because the wildlife and plant life were hit by biological
warfare and so it's not the planet where wolves are, in fact that are no
wolves or anything similar in this world. An alternat example I would like
considered is if wolves don't exist in Sanchan and the party is in Sanchan
should nature sense work on plants that only exist in sanchan, we know
there are things, like coffee. so three questions 1 - is nature sense a suppernatural ability? 2- if it is should it work in a mirror world? 3 - should it work in Sanchan provided there are no wolves there? Thank you for your imput |

I would say that it is a supernatural
ability. That it should work in a mirror world. It's a mirror to the regular world so what is natural in one should be natural in another right. And I believe it should work anywhere. I don't think it has anything to do with some type of communication with wolves. You aren't sending the scent to your four-legged brothers and asking them. I see it more like sensing through your heightened senses that there is something wrong with what you are ingesting and as to the plants and animals I would say that it is a natural instinct as to their traits. -------------------- Wait, if I DID evil, and you guys here
ARE evil. Then shouldn't you be showering me with rewards and
concubines, etc.? This is Hell we're big on irony here. Then I'm sure you'll appreciate what is going to occur. I'm dead, so this is some egoscopic projection of myself? Correct, but I hardly see what... So without any fleshy meats to slow me down, how long do you REALLY think it'll take for me to usurp your entire kingdom? I have the entire legions of Hell at my command Enjoy it while you can, Skippy. -Black Mage in Hell (8-bit theater style) |

I agree with Tarqul's statements. You have to
remember what the Wolfbrother prestige class does. It's not just a set of
powers, it's your evolution from human to a walking wolf. only thing you
miss is teeth and claws. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

but how would wolves know if they had never
encountered it before? |

I think there is very little that wolves have not
seen. Keep in mind that they are tied to the wheel and are continuously
reborn. Time without in they have been there. They probably even have
memories of the jocars and all that jazz. Just my two cents. I'd say that
under most all conditions Nature Sense would work.

Personally I think Nature Sense stems purely from the
wolfbrothers heightened senses and has nothing to do with their
communication with wolves. I mean if you have a nose good enough to smell
the pheremones for various emotional states...I don;t think it's too hard
to detect the scent produced by that toxin the poisoner just slipped into
your wine. Maybe they can't positively identify the exact poison if they
haven't encountered it before but they will know that the wine
smells...wrong. Out in the wilderness if your talking natural plants the same sort of thing applies...we don't have the senses capable of smelling plant toxins unfortunately but most naturally occuring harmful toxins tend to have rather distinct odors (the ones we can smell). I'm sure there is enough similarity that the wolfbrother will be able to tell when something is off. -------------------- What is dead can never

I, personally, think that the nature sense ability
would work no matter what. It doesn't say that it works on ONLY things
that wolves have come in contact with. It's just an extra warning device.
