Houndmaster is a non-combat skill in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It is added by the DLC A Woman's Lot, although it is present and can even be leveled by trainers even without the DLC. This skill determines the abilities of the companion Mutt.
Description[]
- A good houndmaster understands dogs, especially his own. The better you get at commands, the more you'll be able to teach your four-legged friend and the better stats he will have. His default obedience will also increase with your level of this skill.
- New perk points unlock at levels: 3, 5, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 20.
Trainers[]
Can be trained with Berthold and Hermann in Rattay, as well as Nicholas in Talmberg.
