Purpose of rearing a wild animal?

[Dave G]

My ranger's working with his animal companion, and I was looking at the Handle Animal rules for what I could teach it to do. One of the things listed is "Rear a Wild Animal" but it doesn't give any kind of benefit for that.

So is it pointless? Does it matter?

Just curious. Thanks!

I think that's for taming a wild animal. If you didn't have it as a companion, you could use that rule to domesticate a wild mount, for instance.

Hmm... that makes sense. Cool

I just wondered if there should be some sort of bonus for having an animal you've raised from birth to work with. Maybe this should continue in the house rules forum.

MotW has some rules on that...

Oh? Thanks, I'll look that up when I get home!
