Antmaster
"Stop laughing at me or else I will have you ripped apart by my army of ants! I said stop laughing!"

Antmasters are often telepaths or latent telepaths who for some unknown reason manage to create a psionic bond with ants. This bond is highly powerful, allowing the antmaster to control pretty much any ant with their mind and even other vermins. The 'bulk' of antmaster (there very few of them for obvious reason) are telepaths or vitalists who were obsessed with ant and somehow created a psychic hivemind capable of directing, controlling and understanding the ants.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Antmaster.
