Ranger’s animal companion says “When you work with your animal companion on something it’s trained in…
…and someone interferes with you, add its instinct to their roll”
Is that right? When you’re working with the animal and someone interferes with you, you’re worse off on the interfere roll than if the animal wasn’t there?
Yup. Sometimes the Ranger’s animal companion, no matter how well trained, does something based on instinct that makes things worse. 😉
I think that’s right, because instinct is supposed to be a negative thing. The animal’s instinct overrides its training. So I think the fiction is that it’s easier to mess with you because people can mess with your animal as well.
That’s how I read it, though it definitely isn’t explained very well.
Thanks all.
