This technique can only be used on the ground, and will instantly fail if on water or standing on a tree or similar surface. Using this technique, the user summons forth a pack of hunting hounds to track down and immobilize his foes. The pack of dogs bursts from the ground and bites the target into submission. The pack must make 8 melee touch attacks at a +11 bonus and, if at least 3 hit, the target will be immobilized in place by the dogs for the duration of the technique or until it breaks free. The subject must succeed four opposed Strength checks against the pack, which has a +4 bonus to the checks, per turn of the target. The target is located as the pack moves 50 feet per round, using the Scent ability.

The subject, while immobilized, will not be able to use any technique that require mobility or hand seals, and loses its dexterity bonus to defense. If the subject attempts to use any sort of technique, he must succeed a Concentration check as though he was entangled. The dog pack has a defense of 13, 41 hit points and is vulnerable to sneak attack. It will not evade any techniques allowing a reflex save for it would free its victim,and has a bonus to Fortitude save of +7. It is immune to mind-affecting effects.

During use of this technique, the summoning scroll must remain in contact with the ground. If somehow destroyed, the technique ends and the pack disappears.

Expendable Component: Some of the user's blood and a summoning scroll for the Dog blood pact.
