Your dm is being a pedantic idiot and trying to get your animal killed. Beat him with a newspaper to the beat of some Selene Dion music.

It's not Mine for I am a DM too... But well, better to ask the question on the official messageborads than to argue for hours. ^^

Handle Animal tricks

Hi all

A pure rule question (for it is the source of great discussions on another forum) concernins "handle Animal".

The trick "down" says : An animal that doesn’t know this trick continues to fight until it must flee (due to injury, a fear effect, or the like) or its opponent is defeated.

The "Push" action says you can force an animal not knowing a trick te perform it...

A DM argues that since you must (in the text of the rules) KNOW the trick down for the animal to perform it, you con't "push" an animal to perform "down" during a fight as the animal is attacking an ennemy of his.

What do you think about it?
