Animal Affinity
Note: Classes that would give animal empathy (or whatever the druid ability is called) give this feat instead.
Animal Affinity
Benefit: You add 1/2 your level on ride and handle animal checks. These skills are always class skills for you and you gain 2 skill points per level that can only be used for those skills. You can also influence animals and magical beasts with an intelligence of 1-2 by using the Handle Animal skill, which works as diplomacy.
...and I've cleared out all the feats I wrote last night .Last edited by Westhart; 2017-11-11 at 12:04 PM.
Homebrew: If it is mine feel free to PEACH and/or use it.

Well, it seems that life has deposited me here, yet again. Hopefully this time I get to stay a while, as I intend on revising some old homebrew.

Re: Animal Affinity
Handle Animal doesn't actually let you influence the attitudes of animals (in the way that wild empathy does), but if you're using this feat to replace wild empathy we can safely assume Handle Animal would be rewritten.
I really like this fix, allows for a Beastmaster type character who's not necessarily a "ranger" but still has power over animals.

Re: Animal Affinity
This is essentially diplomancer vs. animals. Is that intentional?

Re: Animal Affinity
The next time I make a character using a multiclass or gestalt or custom class ranger/druid/(wizard or sorcerer) blend, I'll remember to use this. (I've done four of these in the past; it's a theme I really like.)

Re: Animal Affinity
Honestly, I think it will affect game play very little, and may be a sub-optimal use of a feat. But it will be of enough use to make its color and RP value irresistible. (I frequently don't mind going sub-optimal in the name of fitting a character concept and the role playing flavor that I want.)
