The ratcatcher can encourage it to perform additional manoeuvres with Easy Animal Handling and spending 1 Obeidience.

Question 1 - presumably this is the Ratcatcher's own "free manoeuvre" (or a fatigue costing one) not a "free skill check"? So essentially, the ratcatcher can get the dog to make a free move and use a Trick action while standing still or spend fatigue to move himself too.

Question 2 - presumably this can't be "any number" of additional manoeuvres the dog does (infinite number?). Does the Ratcatcher have to make another check for each additional one (costing 1 Obeidience each time)? That seems to involve too much dice pool rolling (and costs Fatigue on ratcatcher as well as Obedience)?

How about it's one check enabling as many additional manoueuvres as desired but at cost of 1 Obeidence each?

Using this thread (hope valvorik won't get mad ) , I would like to ask about recovering Obedience by Ratcatcher's dog. Can you explain me how it works? I've got a feeling that someone has already answered the question, but... I'm a bit lazy person

Cheers!

No answers to either of our queries.

For Obedience recovery like stress but using Animal Handling instead of Discipline etc., how about:

In a rally step, +1 Obedience, and option of Attempt Animal Handling check to recover Obeidence = number of successes (instead of another optional such as try to recover your own stress).

In a "end of act" recovery, since the Dog doesn't have its own stats, it uses master's Fellowship (root of Animal Handling) and recovers that many Obedience (e.g., Fellowship 3 means recover 3) while PC's recover Stress = WP, Fatigue = To.

In a night's rest, again recover master's Fellowship in Obedience, and the master can tend to dog as if someone with First Aid was tending to a wounded person, using Animal Handling to try to recover Obedience = Successes (on failure, two banes mean lose one Obedience similar to two banes on failed first aid).

This means that like Fatigue and Stress, most of time dog will be fully recovered starting a new day unless stats impaired or resting interrupted etc.
