There are several Classes that deal with taming, training or handling animals and monsters. Prominent and basic among those is the [Beast Tamer]: That class is gained when a person mets the condition of having tamed an animal/monster. In some cases, just the beginnings of taming the animal/monster is sufficient to gain the class.

As the class is more of a utility class that is either combined with other classes or pushed towards a specialization, it should be no surprise are almost no [Beast Tamers] above Level 40.[1]

Background[]

[Beast Tamers] and similar classes (like [Beast Trainers]) can improve an animal. Dogs can grow beyond their natural size, or run faster, become tougher—it applies to all animals. All can learn some intelligence, if you have the right Skills. If the owner and the animal trust one another, a bond will form. Once the tamer receives [Lesser Bond] or something similar the animal will obey most things.

Cats and other "normal" animals[]

Dogs are apparently easy to tame and train. Even the accomplished [Beast Trainer] Elirr however has problems with cats, who are intelligent.

Insects[]

There are limitations as to which beasts can be tamed. Insects, for instance, may be too foreign for some training, or too shortlived. Although there are reports of some Lizardfolk who keep ants as snacks and entertainment; and of Dullahans keeping particularly armored beetles as prestige animals.[1]

Lyonette was able to bond with the Ashfire Bee Apista.

Crelers[]

Crelers are an unnatural monster species that has so far never been successfully tamed, and there is no case of an established bond reported. It has been tried, but the first [Beast Tamer] was found after two months in his home, half devoured by his creler (in the other part it lay eggs).[1]

A gnollish [Beast Master] also attempted to handle the monsters. She discovered that they were simply too instinctual, too predatory; at most she could direct them like a weapon. As they gew older their destructive instincts only increased. From the adult she sensed a dark intelligence that was too intelligent. The Beast Master suspected it was gaining too much from her Skills and had it destroyed at once.[1]

  • [Riders][5] ride their animals, but don't necessary rear or train them. In the military, horse riders often specialize due to their function in combat. However, if the mounts are some kind of monster, it is more likely for the rider to be a [Beast Tamer] or [Beastmaster], as has been seen with the various instances of riders of Carn Wolves, Mossbears and Griffins. [Beast Masters] need years to train horses.[7]
