One of the most difficult tasks the beastmaster can attempt is the task of
taming a creature too wild and too savage for the civlized races to
domesticate. Such creatures as lions and bears have a tendency to attack any
invader on sight, which makes the arduous task of breaking their spirit not
merely difficult but life-threatening. As such, the bravest and most dedicated
of beastmasters learn the art of calming such creatures, stopping their
attacks so the taming process can begin. The same skill is also useful for
calming a mount that has, for some reason or other, become angered against its
owner.
To use this skill with any hope of success, the beastmaster must appear as non-threatening to the animal as possible.
