Pets for shifters

[Gregorovich]

Hello, guys! Well, I want to say, that really love Deadfire and like the druid and especially Shifter plus multiclassing. But I have one great misunderstanding. Well, when shifted the druid looses temporarily all the equipment, that's OK. But why should he loose the pet? As the part of equipment it just disappears too, and that looks strange. Just like the pet says: oh no, my master is a giant wolf, I'd better run away!

So, what are your thoughts? Should that be corrected?

[dunehunter]

Totally agree, this actually seem to be an oversight. Would love to play a bear shifter/ ranger with bear ranger pet and bear cub pet...

It makes sense if you are playing a Fury and have a dog, many are afraid of thunder.

 

But yes, they should not only revise this but add more pets like the bear cub dunehunter mentioned.

The vision is becoming clear now - it's a druid who just shifted to a wolf followed by a wolf wait is that a  rat sized tick following them???

The druid has a huge pet tick? I wonder what it's powers are? I bet there's blood involved

[InsaneCommander]

Or maybe it's an Adra Tick, looking for a huge target.

Technically a pet is equipment. Otherwise yea. I don't understand how having a pig around somehow makes me better at certain things personally.

[InsaneCommander]

Sometimes, when I approach the enemies in stealth, my dog moves a little further, standing right in front of them. It must be invisible. Or the enemies are really stupid.

Well, that's an unfortunate, does anyone know if it also disappears from companions when shifted?

Thank you for your answers)

Also, I think, that it would be great to add some more story connected pets, like the dog in Asongo or black hound in PoE I. It would be more interesting than just a cat sitting somewhere in an ancient tomb closed for 100 years

I didn't even realize this happened.  My 11 year old daughter wanted to play a Druid/ Ranger multi-class, and really liked the Shifter.  I suggested Stalker so she would get a bonus when they were fighting side by side.   She was more about the pet being cute, but yeah it doesn't really make sense the pet would just disappear.

I thought they meant that the 'pet-slot' pet (little cats//dogs/wurms/etc) disappeared (which is odd but acceptable, unless the pet-bonus disappears too) - but do you mean that the ranger pet disappears too?  That would somewhat destroy the druid/ranger multiclass.

They must all be spirits. That's why nobody hurts them. Or maybe even the most evil enemies consider them cute and won't target them.
