Racial affinities are cultural and physiological traits that make certain animals easier to train. A matter of shared perceptions, modes of communication, social organization, and food, these traits create a strong affinity between certain humanoid races and animal species. Any animal listed under "organization" in a humanoid race's description is one that race has affinity for.

Domesticate Animals

It is always easiest to domesticate an animal while it is growing up, as covered in the "rear a wild animal" rule. But it is possible (if difficult) to domesticate a wild animal as an adult.

Domesticating an animal generally takes 3 months. The trainer must feed the animal must have some way to restrain and discipline the animal and defend himself from it's attacks. This can be done by physical means (cages, leashes, whips) or by magic such as charm spells.

The difficulty depends on the animal's hit dice, it's normal group behavior, and the ties your race has to animals.

Animals living in small groups (wolves, eagles, lions) 20 + hit dice
Herd animals (antilope, zebra) 25 + hit dice
Solitary animals (most cats, bears) 30 + hit dice
You have a racial affinity for the animal -10

Racial affinities are cultural and physiological traits that make certain animals easier to train. A matter of shared perceptions, modes of communication, social organization, and food, these traits create a strong affinity between certain humanoid races and animal species. Any animal listed under "organization" in a humanoid race's description is one that race has affinity for.
