Handle Animal while raging?


Rules Questions


I'm planning on making a Mad Dog Barbarian for PFS, and while it won't be an issue for a while, I just remembered that I won't normally be able to use Handle Animal while raging, since it's Charisma based. So other than Moment of Clarity, is there any way to use Handle Animal while raging?


Coherent Rage trait works.

Skilled Rager would also work.

You can have your animal defend you. Then it should follow you around and attack without orders.


Or you can just use Intimidate and/or the Grapple manoeuvre to handle the animal. Of course putting your faithful steed in a rear naked choke while shouting profanities at it and its ancestry may make out-of-rage skill checks harder ...

Two other ideas: one, give it orders before you go into rage. It could be told to defend, or offend, whichever. The other? Make it smart. Once it hits Int 3, you just tell it what to do and it (has a chance to) obey (depending on its mood).
