[QUOTE="industrygothica, post: 4036863, member: 23298"] You're always welcome to offer input, and I appreciate it. My little corner of this imagined world is slowly starting to take shape nicely, and I think I will be able to present it to my real-life players rather vividly. Each new idea helps it grow a little more as I develop NPCs to further flesh it out, such as the handler it'll take to bring this one to fruition. I've done a little bit of research myself on this topic. Here's what I've found. The DC to [i]rear[/i] a black bear from infancy (and I think these are close enough in age) is 18. That's a base 15 plus 3 hit dice. Apparently a handler can attempt to raise as many as three of any one given type of animal. The DC to teach the tricks are as listed in the book. I guess the main question now is time. How long would it take to rear a wild bear to a sufficient level of domestication? I can't help but think it wouldn't be a quick process, maybe even up to a year. I don't think it'd be an unreasonable requirement that, if the animal is being trained by a hired handler, the PC spend an hour or two a day with the animal learning to control it, as the animal is learning to be controlled. I think that this would require a significant investment on the part of the PC, forcing him to really consider his decision before he runs out and tries to domesticate every wild animal he sees. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
