Beastmaster - Animal Companion question

[Tavecosh]

Should I make the Beast page a separate sheet? It is basically another
character sheet that needs automation. As only a small sect will use
this, it would reduce the size of the primary character sheet.

Thoughts?

Next question on the Beast Companion sheet: Skills.

As each beast type has some trained skills, is that to imply they only
have those skills period, or does it imply they have all skills like
PCs, but are only trained in those indicated?

Some seem to make sense to me, others dont. I can see the companion
having skills either innate or trained in things like: Acrobatics,
Athletics, Dungeoneering, Endurance, Insight, Intimidate, Nature,
Perception, and Stealth.

But I cant see them realistically needing: Arcana, Bluff, Diplomacy,
Heal, History, Religion, Streetwise, Thievery.

Is there something written up about beast companion skills in one of
the books, or an official ruling from Wizards?

Thanks,
Keith
