As they travel, an adventurer can teach a companion a new trick by making an [[03-Mechanics/6-Ability Scores/Animal Handling|Animal Handling]] check. This can be used for any type of companion creature that can learn, including animals, constructs, and even simple undead. A creature cannot learn more than one trick per Journey.
**Time:** The adventurer must spend the entire Journey undertaking this activity.
___
**Critical Failure.** The attempt lightly injures the creature, causing it to flee the adventurer in the night. It only returns to the party at the end of the current Journey.
**Failure.** The adventurer is unable to teach the companion the trick.
**Success.** The adventurer teaches the creature one trick, which will last beyond the current Journey. This should match the difficulty of a single trick or task learnable by a common dog, cat, crow, etc.
**Critical Success.** As a success, but the creature also leads the adventurer to a Boon or Discovery.
