Training Animals

[Darkholme]

So we've had this come up twice now, and I wasn't sure how to handle it.

What are the rolls/mechanics associated with training/rearing animals? We had a few suggestions, and weren't sure.

Influence?
Ride?
Teaching?
Some new Advanced Skill (likely with the same base value as Ride)?

I included some very basic rules for this in the Eberron conversion. Basically you can use Craft(Animal Trainer), or -40% influence.
A succesful check and 1D6+1 days teaches the animal a trick: roll around, sit, sick em' etc.

Arms of Legend has rules for training animals (page 119). It follows the same general rules which are used for constructing or improving items (Arms of Legend pages 42-47), but you use Lore (Animal) skill and each task round is two weeks, each 25% of success is means new skill level for animal (untrained - basic trained - skilled - battle trained).
