[QUOTE="Talonblaze, post: 5655508, member: 6680256"] Mostly the point of, if dragons and other beasts were 'people' why are you unable to use Handle Animal on humanoids or such? Why are those kinds an exception? They are smart beings are they not? Handle Animal should be useless in any way shape or form just like it would be trying to use it on a Commoner. Although parrots* 'mimic' so do humans. We just mimic what we are taught. It wouldn't be unlikely that if a parrot wanted food they could be trained to vocalize such just like a dog showing it needs out by sitting near the door. (*If I find the stats, you'll be the first to know.) Well this unfortunately poses a problem for both of us. They used to have the Q&A section of the site but its no longer available to be used for 3.5 stuff if I recall. Which sadly this point could be the key factor for either side. Which does what exactly? Just change a type? Because as far as I read, the stats for a magical beast are tied in with the type. Which greatly improve the creature. I highly doubt a +1 stat point would change that. Surprised the issue hasn't come up for companions before, with such an issue it would be pretty notable for any animal companion character.
