Rules Questions

I posted this in the rules question because of the nature of what im asking, but im posting it here too because it relates to pfs

Anthopormegitise an animal, give it hands and ability to speak
Had 3 int before, so have points into umd
Use push to tell it to activate a wand on _insert blah here_

Is this doable? I read the FAQ but that relates to intelegent animal beast like nature and says absolutly nothing about anthropormorphic animal. when pushing sorta "forces" to do what i want?


the spell is legal according to the player resources, but you should be aware that such a creature using UMD is highly inefficient. as most animals do not have a high charisma to begin with.

perhaps if you told us what your character is we could very you a better suggestion?

Im playing a druid, lvl 6

Companion is a big cat(charisma 10)
If there are any animals pfs legal i overlooked with a higher cha let me know
Lvl 1 feat skill focus (umd)

Level 2 feat: extra item slot ( headband) ( headband of alluring charisma+2)

Level 5 feat: magical aptitude

So starting lvl 4 put a point into umd each lvl (so 3)

3+3+2+1=9

Right now its a 48% chance of working, but he can still do its fun animal stuff.


hmm, so your going for concept instead of the power gaming method good for you :) generally what people tend to do is get a familiar, instead of the animal companion to use there wands for them. i did not check the bestiary entries to see if their were any above 10. It sounds reasonable, but your going to be burning spell slots to make it happen, not to broken.

In your post in the Rules Forum I linked the FAQ that says Animals may not activate magic items.


the problem is the spell gives them higher then animal intelligence, but in the text of the spell is also says the animals type does not change. This sadly means that the spell will not allow what you desire to happen Moospuh.
