Gamekeeper

Confirmed Guildmember.

As a recognized member of the Gamekeepers' Guild, you are knowledgeable in the care, training, and habits of animals used for hunting. With 30 days' of work and at least 2 gp for each day, you can train a raptor, such as a hawk, falcon, or owl, or a hunting dog, such as a hound, terrier, or cur, to become a hunting companion. Use the statistics of an owl for the raptor and the statistics of a jackal for the hunting dog. A hunting companion is trained to obey and respond to a series of one-word commands or signals, communicating basic concepts such as “attack,” “protect,” “retrieve,” “find,” “hide,” or similar. The companion can know up to six such commands and can be trained to obey a number of creatures, other than you, equal to your proficiency bonus. A hunting companion travels with you wherever you go, unless you enter a particularly dangerous environment (such as a poisonous swamp), or you command the companion to stay elsewhere. A hunting companion doesn't join you in combat and stays on the edge of any conflict until it is safe to return to your side. When traveling overland with a hunting companion, you can use the companion to find sufficient food to sustain yourself and up to five other people each day. You can have only one hunting companion at a time.
