[QUOTE="OnlytheStrong, post: 4037372, member: 54781"] I would think that something as potentially dangerous and wild as a bear would require years of training by a handler before he even allows someone else to step in with it. I would think that it would be in his best interest if he requires the person buying the animal to spend a large amount of time with it under supervision. After all, if he just sells the animal and it kills it's owner....... that's bad for business. Maybe have the PC spend an hour or 2 a day spending time with the animal. Giving it commands, feeding it, etc. Anything that would be able to establish trust and a sense of belonging. Maybe have the trainer slowly work himself out of the picture. As far as a price........... I have no clue. I would want to make it low enough that the PC's (like my ranger) [i]could[/i] afford it, but would have to sacrifice quite a bit of their money for it. I mean, if you wait until like..... 3rd level?? a ranger will just get his own companion. I like having a trainer, so you could potentially have a wizard with a black bear to guard him. Just seems cool. [/QUOTE]
