Pets & Companions

Having a pet or companion means being able to control an additional unit on the battlefield, greatly enhancing your combat capabilities. Not all pets and companions are meant for the battlefield and might only be used for skill checks or role-playing purposes.

Taming
Taming a creature is necessary if you don't already have control of one, or if your last companion died or left you. Simply perform the necessary skill check against the desired creatures Will score, and if you succeed it's now under your control.

Taming different types of creatures requires different skills to control. Wild animals and natural creatures require an Animal Handling check. Gaining control of simple magical creatures or spirits requires Arcana. Druids who choose the Animorph specialization may use their Nature score as well to tame wild animals.

Normally taming only works on non-sentient creatures unless they choose to follow you willingly.
