I don't know if I'm understanding this correctly: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/bard/archetypes/paizo---bard-a rchetypes/masterpieces/the-lullaby-of-ember-the-ancient-sing

It seems a good masterpiece, but looking more closely it specifies it works like the spell Deep Slumber ( http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/d/deep-slumber ). It also says that unlike the spell, it targets only a creature, but it doesn't say anything about the "it affects 10 HD of targets". Does the "single target part" also replace the 10 HD limit?

Because if it is so, since you get it at level 7, it becomes pretty useless in a short time :o

Yeah, for a bard like me which focus on support it was cool.
I liked the concept of having the same animal for roleplaying purpose, but if it doesn't advance he will die soon even if I put much effort on him.
Since I'm not much in "ehi, this pet is not needed anymore, going to get a new one", I'm abandoning the idea :P

Ok, thanks.

However with "train a wild animal" I was referring to raise for example a little tiger from the birth ^^

Hello, the whole issue started when I took the bard class feature that let me use the Perform check to use Handle Animal.
Since I obviously have a great bonus, I'd like to go around with a big big cat because it is cool and it also helps.

Now, looking at the Handle Animal skill, I can also train a wild animal which has more hit dice than me. Well, I don't really plan to have one with higher HD than me, but just to know if this is correct.

But here it is the problem:
- Is the animal considered as a NPC for determining the CR of the group and to split the experience of the encounters?
- And if it is so, does it take "levels" meaning it can advance (without the control of the player of course)?
- Is there an official rule?

Please share your thoughts ^^
