Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
Spending one-on-one time with your creature companion and taking an opportunity to train them is an [[Journey Activities#Extended Tests|Extended Test]] with a Goal of 18. Over the course of one week, you must make three DC 8 Wisdom ([[00-Balance Of Powers/3-Mechanics/6-Ability Scores/Animal Handling|Animal Handling]]) Tests. **On a success**, you grant your companion proficiency in a skill of your choice. **On a failure**, your companion doesn’t fully grasp your intent, but your efforts in obedience training pay off, decreasing the Goal by 2 for your next attempt.
This Downtime Activity encompasses training familiars and constructs — as long as the companion has some capacity to learn, even if it is a non-living creature, you can train them in some fashion.
