Aside from wild empathy and a couple of spells, I'm not aware of any skill that specifically relates to trying to interact with a wild animal, so we'll play a little loose with the skill to fit the need. Afterall, it's called a player's<em>guide</em>for a reason<br/><br/>Write it out and we'll see what happens; Telthor can cast Talk With Animals if he wants and maybe make things a little easier... we're roleplaying afterall. ;) I DO award eXP for things that players try outside of combat.
