Animal Empathy
Class Skill: Druid & Ranger Only
Use: Trained Only
Key Ability: Charisma
Use this skill to keep a guard dog from barking at you, to get a wild bird to land on your outstretched hand, or to keep an owl bear calm while you back off.
Check: You can improve the attribute of an animal with a successful check. (Your DM will handle the DC’s to change attributes.) To use the skill, you and the animal must be able to study each other, noting each other’s body language, vocalizations, and general demeanor. This means that you must be within 30 feet under normal conditions.
Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people it might take more or less time.
This skill works on animals (such as bears and giant lizards). You can use it with a -4 penalty on beasts (such as owl bears) and magical beasts (such as blink dogs).
Retry: As with attempts to influence people, retries on the same animal generally don’t work (or don’t work any better), whether you have succeeded or not.
