With the handle animal skill does the animal have to be domesticated for it to be taught tricks?

[Hiro Protagonest]

Read the special, you can't train an animal if you don't have ranks in handle animal.

So no, you're not going to be able to train that bear.

[Maryring]

The answer to your question is... No.

[Doomboy911]

What if I pay someone with ranks in handle animal to do it?

And how are you gonna drag a black bear back to the city? (if anyone's wondering, I'm in this game)

[Doomboy911]

It's following me now. But the getting the bear there is a minor problem. I'm wondering if it can be trained once I find an animal trainer.

It's following you because you have a bunch of fish. And because this bear has kinda taken you as its cub.

[Rising Phoenix]

I have to ask: Why is the bear following you? Are you running in front of it?

[Doomboy911]

It's complicated. My character dropped a ton of trash in hopes of luring an animal like a raccoon (it sort of worked) when a bear showed up. It was roaring at us so we ran away, than it started to slowly follow us and I tried to push it with handle animal (it sort of worked). The bear realized we had food and continued to follow us. After enough feeding (read: rolled a high enough handle animal check) the bear has taken my character in treating it like a cub. Now as much as I like the bear (I named her Tybalt) I'd like to be able to get it to help me with some stuff like in case I need it to guard something.

Also if anyone knows a way to make the bear more powerful like spells that would help that would be useful too.

[Bovine Colonel]

Is our GM -aware- that you can't Handle Animal without skill ranks?

[Doomboy911]

If you have no ranks in Handle Animal, you can use a Charisma check to handle and push domestic animals,

Each time I was attempting to push it.

Edit:
Nevermind saw my own mistake.
Didn't read the fine print.

[Runeclaw]

Yes, spells can make a bear more powerful.

Only do this after the bear is already on your side.

[slaydemons]

am the gm I read the part about using charisma when its untrained and he didn't domesticate it, it adopted him like in dwarf fortress how cats adopt your dwarves. I just read the domesticate part but still it adopted him

[Doomboy911]

Man I have to play that game. Dwarves having children that they carry around into battle. Cats participating in the adoption agency. Sounds messed up.

[slaydemons]

no cats adopt fully grown dwarves
