Bonding Requirements

The failure message implies that some torture skill is required - indeed this worked with 65 torture skill in one case - but 36 torture is insufficient by itself. Since Verynvelyrae forbids any degree of torture specialization, even if granted by some association that provides access (e.g. the Maidens of the Spear), the skill simply cannot be specialized while a character is in the guild. Since it cannot be specialized, it cannot go over 40. Either the requirement is closer to 40 or even beyond, or there there is some other combination of skills that qualify a consort that is unknown at this time.

Known Abilities

The panther is a dangerous predatory feline native to the cliffsides of Calais, and is a very capable combatant with its claws and teeth. It breathes air, has a carnivorous diet, and can see in the dark.

Combat Bonuses

The panther grants its consort an intrinsic bonus to attack rating equal to the consort's Unholy Taint skill, and one-half of Stealth skill. A damage bonus is also applied, equal to two times the consort's Torture skill - however since Torture is a forbidden specialty for Verynvelyrae, this will practically be capped at 40. This effect applies to all attacks with all weapons and unarmed skill. Your familiar must be present in your environment to grant these bonuses.

Petting the familiar

You pet Jet with your left hand.
You sense dark energies flowing from Jet's body into your spirit.

This provides a temporary bonus to crushing resistance, cutting resistance, piercing resistance, unholy taint, and unholy fortitude. It also restores one spell point.

Sahasrara Chakra

The panther grants its consort the Sahasrara (violet) chakra, which provides a large bonus to willpower and luck, numerous skill bonuses, and grants the Wingless Flight trait when fully charged.

Attribute Modifications

Being bonded to a panther gives the consort a very large bonus to willpower, a large bonus to strength, and moderate bonuses to dexterity and charisma.
