The Train Animal Skill Feat makes no sense to me. One of my players is building a ranger for the playtest and wanted to know what tricks he could teach his animal companion using Train Animal, so I took a look.
Train Animal states that you can teach tricks listed in the Command an Animal action. However, when looking at Command an Animal, the only tricks I can see are those listed in the sentence: "Most animals know the Leap, Seek, Stand, Stride and Strike basic actions". But if an animal already knows those actions, what use does teaching them those actions have? Isn't that completely redundant?
And if there are tricks that most animals don't know and could be taught, you would expect to find them in the Command an Animal section, as stated by the Train Animal feat. Since this isn't the case, to me it seems as if Train Animal is a completely useless feat.
I hope that some of you have some ideas!
