-If the Companion is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw.+As a Full Action, you may direct one or all of your Animal Companions to attack a specific enemy. The Animal Companion(s) will then chase and attack the enemy selected until you cease to use Full Actions to direct them to attack. The animal companion(s) will only move to the nearest suitable square and roll attacks normally against the target - they will not flank or otherwise employ any tactics without you taking actions to direct them as normal. 
 + 
 +Additionally, this Talent allows you to expend one Half Action across all of your Companions, as long as the command is the same (ie, attack, move X direction, etc.).
