This Talent is only available to Gurahl and takes the place of Subterfuge. Like the bears who are your near-kin, you have the ability to make changes in your metabolism and other bodily functions. These alterations may consider of small tweaks to such aspects of your physiology as body temperature (useful in withstanding extremes of heat and cold) or large-scale system shutdowns that allow you to survive catastrophic circumstances (such as being trapped in a cave-in or buried under the snow after an avalanche). While ursine Gurahl must take two dots in this Talent to reflect their basic bear heritage, human-born werebears may find this Ability incredibly useful in many circumstances. Advanced levels enable Gurahl to "fine-tune" their metabolism so that nearly every part of their body comes under their conscious control. Practical applications include control of repertory functions, pain management, fertility, and blood circulation. This Talent may not be purchased by non-Gurahl.
