Tame

Naturalists also have an additional option in some combats; if fighting an animal -- a rat or fish, for example -- A Naturalist can try to Tame the animal. Taming an animal yields 50% more XP than defeating it in combat, but the creature will not drop items.

Combat Skill

Effects

When successful, results in combat victory. Taming yields an additional 50% XP (rounded down), but the animal does not drop items.

When Used

If you fail:

You squat down and extend a hand, trying to make friends with the critter. Despite your best efforts, it continues to act like it thinks you're food.

If you succeed:

You stretch out your hand, making a fist but extending your pinky and thumb. You make an odd keening noise while slowly rotating your fist back and forth. The trick works, and the animal decides you're a friend instead of a foe!
