Cosmic Hunters (OOC)

[chaincomplex]

Aslo, chaincomplex, I've noticed something poorly thought-out. In the Wild Cohort feat, it is specified that the PC can use the Handle Animal skill as a move action rather than a standard action. However, there are no uses of the Handle Animal skill in the srd mandating a standard action. It's either a move action to have an animal perform a trick it knows, or a full-round action to have it perform a trick it knows not. That amount of time being reduced to a free action and a standard action, respectively, in the case of a Druid or Ranger dealing with its animal companion. So, what gives?

I suppose, amusingly then, that this only applies if you've somehow reduced Handle Animal to a standard action (such as, as you mentioned, by being a Druid). That's my ruling anyways; I'm not going to bootstrap the designers' (possible lack of) intent here. The clause is categorically incorrect.
