Animal Whisperer

Animal Whisperer is a skill in Wasteland 2.

Characteristics
The ability to make animals do your bidding. Individual animals can be whispered successfully only once each. If the animal is neutral, it may become charmed and follow you around. If the animal is hostile, it may become neutral or leave the area.

Effects
Charmed animals provide a +1 bonus to an attribute. The bonus ends if the animal is killed or dismissed. You can have an animal companion for each member of your party. Multiple animals of the same type following one character do not provide a stacking bonus.

Certain animal followers, like dogs and the giant rat, will automatically attack in combat and are thus difficult to keep alive, as their low hitpoints and armor means they have little in the way of survivability.
