Wood Elves, being as close to nature etc as they are, could gain the ability to soothe the tempers of natural beasts.

inherent soothe bear

Effects: Chances of working are about equal to tame, but the result is that it only stops combat for the room they are in, not taming the creature for the rest of the creature's life (Which I believe is the case for tame, the creature you tame just sits there happy as a clam until it's killed by someone). That way, as a wood elf would enter and leave the room that the creature's in, they'd need to soothe the creature again.

Restrictions: None, other than what's above (No perma tame).
