Clan Abilities

Alright, here we go.

I am starting to work on the clan abilities, which make every clan unique from the rest, while sure some clan can have similar abilities etc I still want them to be rather different, this is where you guys come in. While I have a lot of ideas for clan abilities on my own, why not tap into the minds of the fans.

So here is the deal, now is the time to suggest what kind of abilities clans should be able to acquire. To help your suggestions let me elaborate on the system I am going to implement.

First of all, every clan ability will have multiple tiers of power, first one being the most basic of them and the following abilities will improve or give more uses to the first one. In general I want to add three tiers of power for each type of ability.

The secondly what will need to know would be that each and every ability would be linked to some kind of organ, even a specialized organ is okay, which means a made up organ. Of course there would be the exception of the heart, it can still be linked to some ability if there is a good enough reason. The heart is associated with the affinities the character has and thus I don't really want to stack other details into it. As you might have guessed, this will involve ability transplantation.

Last, but not least each clan will only be able to acquire one set of clan abilities by natural means, this however does not mean that they can't acquire more through some other methods. What I am getting at is that certain abilities will create a whole new power when merged. I don't want to reveal too much about this, but give your best shot.

This is for a clan specialized in animals. The organ of use is their brain.

So if you try Dominating a flaming rat, having the fire affinity would make it easier to Dominate. If the animal you have domesticated is killed, a lot of strain is put on the brain and the clan ability will be disabled for a time. Dominated animals can do anything a tamed animal can do except breed. Dominated animals start with the Attack and Follow commands.
