Seeing as though chimpanzees already use clubs in sense, I'd rule it as a Trick, not as an actual feat, and let the Druid train the gorilla/ape in wielding a club, greatclub, mace, morningstar, halfspear, spear or javelin. Of course, I'd require that the Druid be proficient in the use of the weapon.Jack99 said:Hello
Can an animal companion learn the simple weapon feat and thus use a large club or something alike? Obviously, the Animal Companion would have to be an ape or something along those lines...
My gut feeling says no, but I can't remember anything in RAW that forbids it.
I don't know, I'd go with two tricks, then. After all, it doesn't cost Armor Proficiency feats to get a creature to wear barding.Slapzilla said:A trick alone and it would still be non-proficient, a feat alone it may not know when to use it, but both.... That's how I'd make you do it.

There's precedence of the Warhorses not having Armor Proficiency. It's all subsumed in the purpose they're trained for.Jack99 said:I always make my druids pay the feat, if they want their already fairly powerful animal companion to wear armor/barding
But thanks for the feedback, I do see there is little ruling against it.
