So I have a player who wants to play a barbarian with a pet. Bonus points if he can get away with having sub-par Wisdom (and therefore a lousy Nature modifier to Command the Animal). I could start out all right by having him take the Beastmaster archetype from APG (so he doesn't have to make Nature rolls), but even with that, Commanding the pet is still a Concentrate action that he can't do while raging. Would this proposed feat be grossly under/overpowered for a reason I'm not seeing?
Fury of the Pack (Feat 4)
Uncommon, Barbarian
Prerequisites: animal instinct
You may treat the Command an Animal action as though it had the rage trait. If you do, the Commanded animal may only use the Stride (or other movement forms if it has them), Strike, and Support actions. Until the beginning of your next turn, it receives the effects of the Rage action, as well as your instinct's specialization ability if you have Weapon Specialization.
The intent is that this should work seamlessly with the extra actions granted for Commanding an animal companion, as well as any additional effects granted by e.g. Companion's Cry.
