Attacking a building

Taming an animal

Before attempting to train an animal, or to deescalate an encounter with a wild beast, you need to succeed an Animal handling skill test. The base difficulty is 10, and varies as follows :

Negative modifiers

  • The animal suffers from Minor wounds : +5
  • The animal suffers from Major wounds : +5
  • The animal was recently attacked : +5
  • The animal was recently attacked by a member of your party : Disadvantage
  • The animal is starving : Disadvantage
  • The animal feels threatened or trapped : DisadvantageThe animal has been trained, using Tamer - War beasts, by another being of similar race to you : +10
  • Another animal of the same pack is present : +10
  • A leader of the same pack is present : Disadvantage

Positive modifiers

  • The animal is accustomed to your presence : -5
  • The animal has been trained, without using Tamer - War beasts, by another being of similar race to you : -10
  • The animal is hungry or starving and you offer an adequate food : Advantage

Gaining an animal trust doesn’t equate to having tamed it. However it won’t attack you without reason and you may guide it unless it feels threatened or trapped.
