- Single Action
- Skills: Nature (Disadvantage if not Proficient)
You command an animal to do an action it already knows. This requires that it has been trained, as per the Train Animal action, in the command being given. Some animals, such as an animal companion or mount might not need this check for commonly used actions, such as a horse being commanded to jump, or a dog being commanded to sit. However, less instinctual commands, such as attack or guard, often require this check. The DC is determined by the animal’s familiarity with the action and the relationship between you and the creature. An animal that is not trained in a particular action can be pushed to attempt it. This requires a Nature check with the DC of 10 higher than what is listed under the Train Animal action. If you are not familiar with the animal, but the animal has training with the action, the DC is 10 higher. You cannot push an animal to perform an action if it is unfamiliar with you and the action.
