N18 Infiltrate and pets

[Zahnartz]

Can exotic beasts use infiltrate if their owner has the skill but they don’t.

 

[Beebopalulla]

In what setting? Hive? Ash Wastes?

 

[Zahnartz]

Either or. My plan is for Nomad leader to take infiltrate and some ash wings.

We’ll be playing in the hive this campaign for what it’s worth

Nothing in the rules ( core rulebook 2023) says it's possible. So it goes down to specific rules for pets.

This being said, in the book of outland, it's the pet who give the skill to the brute. So millisaurs give the beastmaster (brute) infiltrate. If the brute choose another pet it doesn't get the inflitrate skill. tha makes me think that no if they don't have infiltrate by themselves they can't infiltrate with their owner.

SKILLS
A Beastmaster has the Fearsome skill. They also gain a skill based on the type of beast they specialise in
as follows:
• Wasteland giant rats – Dodge skill
• Millisaurs – Infiltrate skill
• Ripperjacks – Catfall skill

and p 86 of the core rules none of them have infiltrate available .

EXOTIC BEASTS SKILLS
By their very nature, Exotic Beasts are unable to utilise many of the skills detailed in the complete skill lists. Therefore, when an Exotic Beast gains a new skill, roll a D3 and consult the table below:
1 Catfall Bull Charge Counter-attack Backstab Berserker
2 Dodge Crushing Blow Disarm Evade Fearsome
3 Sprint Iron Jaw Step Aside Lie Low Nerves of Steel

Ashwings do, if they become a specialist, have access to Cunning (which includes infiltrate) as a secondary skill.

And your Nomad leader also has infiltrate access as a primary skill.

Exotic Beasts are limited in the skills they can take (pg. 86 2023 rulebook). From Cunning, they can only get Backstab, Evade, or Lie Low.
