I think Falconry is merely legacy from earlier editions like how far Filching got before being subsumed into sleight of hand.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Animal Handling
I meant it as a joke. I watched the Snatch clip linked earlier in the thread. And piggies eating people is common knowledge among true crime fans like me.

Oops, sure. I had forgotten the link, in my fervor for Falconry.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Animal Handling
I have just spent the day dealing with animals (dogs,cows and rams today) and it occurs to me that animal handling should provide a large bonus to grappling animals. This is probably in addition to any other bonuses. In the course of work today I have been catching and holding 280lb rams while working on them.

Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Animal Handling
I think this is a really good opportunity to employ Wildcard skills, if GURPS Lite even has those. An Animals! skill wouldn't just let you use animal handling on any animal, but other related skills, such as riding, teamster, perhaps even biology and physiology for animals.
