Animal Kinship

This replaces Animal Messenger, Speak with Animals, Beast bond & Animal Friendship

You form a magical link between yourself and beasts, allowing you to temporarily bond with them. When you cast this spell, choose one of the effects below.

• You can speak with beasts for the duration of the spell.
• A beast within range must pass a wisdom save or become charmed for the duration.
• You establish a telepathic bond with a willing beast or animal for the duration or until you are out of line of sight of each other. With this link you can understand each other's words and emotions.
• Ask a tiny animal or beast within range to travel to deliver a message you record to a person that you describe for it, fx. “The lizard with the funny hat in the city of Narram”. The creature will also continue this task after the spell ends. To check whether the animal makes the trip, you roll 1d20 against a DC of 5. This DC can be modified by your DM if the route the animal must travel goes through dangerous terrain.

For an experienced table, the above list is examples, and more options can be available at the DMs discretion.

At Higher Level: For every spell slot above first, you can have an extra bullet point active.
