'''Assume aspect''' grants the [[Ranger]] beneficial characteristics of certain wild beasts.

==Aspect Benefits==

The enhancive effects of 650 are restricted by the same limitations as any other [[Enhancive item|enhancive bonus]].

==Animal Companion Bonus==

If a ranger assumes an aspect that is of the same category as his [[Animal Companion (630)|Animal Companion]], he will gain an additional bonus while the effects of the aspect are active. 

This gain applies to Animal Companions that are of the same category (canine, feline, avian, and rodent), but not necessarily to the same specific type as the Wolf, Jackal, Lion, Panther, Owl, Hawk, Rat, and Porcupine aspects.

==Duration==
