Changelings use these Contracts to emulate and become closer to specific animals. Contracts of Fang and Talon are purchased separately, each Contract attuning itself to one specific type of animal. Canines, felines, sea mammals, predatory birds, fish, sharks or even bony fish are all sample possibilities. The character may choose to attune to a particular species, or as widely as a general family of animals; he could take affinity with Wolves or Canines, but not with Carnivora or Mammals. For example, a character assigning all her beginning five dots in Contracts could purchase Fang and Talon ••• (Canines) and Fang and Talon •• (Birds of Prey), or Fang and Talon • (Oxen), Fang and Talon •• (Equines) and Fang and Talon •• (Goats).
Purchasing more dots of any given Contract of Fang and Talon does not increase the others. However, the Beast seeming’s affinity applies to all Contracts of Fang and Talon, allowing Beasts to purchase multiple Contracts of Fang and Talon at reduced cost. In addition, learning new versions of already known clauses is half the cost (round down) of learning a new Contract. For example, a character with Fang and Talon •• (Snakes) and Fang and Talon • (Lizards) could purchase the second dot of Fang and Talon (Lizards) at half cost, as she already knows Beast’s Keen Senses (Snakes). However, a character with Hearth ••• and Fang and Talon •• (Bats) would not pay half cost for the third dot in Fang and Talon (Bats), as she hasn’t yet learned the specific Pipes of the Beastcaller clause.
