I'm sure this was just a typo, but the first paragraph under Animal Companions states:
An animal companion is a loyal comrade who follows your orders without you needing to use Handle an Animal on it. Your animal companion has the minion trait, and it gains 2 actions during your turn if you use the Command an Animal action to command it; this is in place of the usual effects of Command an Animal.
Bolding mine.
Handle an Animal doesn't appear anywhere else in the book so I can only imagine it's just a typo.Is "Handle an Animal" is meant to be "Command an Animal," and does that mean a character with an animal companion does not need to roll a Nature skill check to succeed at using the Command an Animal action?
"You know a great deal about the natural world, and you command and train animals and magical beasts. "
Yeah, it is the command an animal in the nature, in the case of animl companion you don't need to do the check every single turn that you issue an order.
Yup it's a typo
Handle Animal and Command were two different things in the playtest. Looks like they changed the nature skill to combine handle and command into the new version of command but didn't update the animal companion text.
I'd assume they mean you don't actually need to make a check though you still need to spend actions to command the companion
