Bonded Animal (Feat 2)
Downtime, General, Skill
Prerequisites expert in Nature

You forge strong connections with Animals. You can spend 7 days of Downtime trying to bond with a normal Animal (not a Companion or other special animal) that is friendly or helpful to you. After this duration, attempt a DC 20 Nature check. If successful, you bond with the Animal. The Animal is permanently helpful to you, unless you do something egregious to break your bond. A helpful Animal is easier to direct, as described under Command an Animal.

Bonding with a new Animal ends any previous bond you had. You can’t have both a bonded Animal and an Animal Companion (though you can have both a bonded Animal and a familiar).
