====[[Tome of Prowess (3.5e Sourcebook)/Creature Handling#I’m A Friend|I’m A Friend]]====
Creatures of all types like you, and you know how to treat them to build trust and good feelings.</onlyinclude> With ten minutes of interaction and an animal handling check, you can attempt to positively change the attitude of creatures towards you. This shift is a natural shift in attitude, and is not enforced by anything. If you mistreat or disappoint an animal while their attitude has been changed, they are likely to respond more negatively than before. Even if you don’t mistreat them, their attitude will likely revert back to its original level unless you spend time earning it. The base DC for this check is 12 + the creature’s CR. Your check result is modified by the creature’s attitude towards you and their type. You may hurry this check as well, using the modifiers in the table above. You can affect no more creatures than your ranks in animal handling at one time. The results of your check are detailed in the table below.

You may not retry this check during the same encounter, but you may use it on a beast multiple times over multiple meetings. It is very difficult, however, to repeat the effect and make progress with a creature you have previously used this ability on. After the initial time you use this on an animal, they are treated as Suspicious for purposes of this check (though their actual attitude towards you may be different) or Hostile (if their attitude towards you actually is Hostile or Murderous).

'''Base DC:''' 12 + creature CR<br>
'''Check Result:'''
*DC+10 and above: You shift their attitude 3 steps in the positive direction. You can not shift an attitude beyond helpful.
*DC+5 to DC+9: You shift their attitude 2 steps in the positive direction. You can not shift an attitude beyond helpful.
*DC+0 to DC+4: You shift their attitude 1 step in the positive direction. You can not shift an attitude beyond helpful.
*DC-1 to DC-5: You fail to shift their attitude at all.
*DC-6 and below: You make an offensive move accidentally, and shift their attitude 1 step in the negative direction. You can not shift an attitude beyond hostile, and the creature almost certainly attacks you if they become hostile towards you.<onlyinclude>
