Here's why (I reiterate, IMO):- An animal companion isn't more intelligent than it's normal counterpart.- Such a learning would require that the druid teach the Ape a trick (as per the handle animal skill).- "Learn to fight with a weapon" isn't on the Handle Animal trick list, but, as it is stated in the skill description, the list isn't all-inclusive.- The "attack" trick has a DC of 20, and that's pretty basic. Teaching the Ape to fight with a weapon would probably be a DC of 25 or 30.- Teaching the Ape to attack with a Flame Blade would require to teach another trick, since animals in general are afraid of fire. The DC would be even higher.- If the Ape finally learns to fight with a flame blade, it could use all of its weapons, but is going to have penalties to hit, unless he takes the Multiweapon fighting feat (assuming he has the required stats).Slim</blockquote>
