[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 1717096, member: 707"] This is your DM's call. In the animal entry in the MM, it states that animals "trained for war" are proficient with armor. But there is no such entry for magical beasts. Some DMs might allow a magical beast mount to be treated the same as an animal mount with regards to armor use. Some might require the magical beast to spend the feats for proficiency.Worgs follow the same rules as any other mount. I'm not sure what you mean by "order them to attack while I do my own actions"...since a rider and mount's actions are inextricably linked, and there are situations where the rider can both gain, and lose, actions in comparison to a PC on foot. I'd suggest brushing up on the Ride skill and mounted combat.If you learn to speak Worg, this is a non-issue. You can direct your Worg verbally. If you cannot speak Worg, then a Worg would have the same number of tricks as any other animal companion.Yes, you can learn to speak Worg by paying the skill point cost, as with any other language.No.No. You've quoted the relevent text yourself.If your DM has allowed you to have a worg as your animal companion, it gains bonus hit die as an animal companion, based on your ranger level. If you don't take any more levels in ranger, then no, your companion will not get any more HD. [/QUOTE]
