jezz555 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Is there any word on druid animal companions? That might make this discussion kind of redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rostere Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I still want a cow companion. Or the potted plant on wheels. Failing that, a tapir. 1 "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomine Vacans Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Didn't Obsidian already announced capability to include elves, dwarves and other lesser species in your group? What else do you want? *seriously* A dog would be nice. Is nomine vacans liberarit vobis ex servitut. Is nomine vacans redit vobis ars magica.

Alexjh Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have to say, contrary to a lot of people here, I much prefer non-magical animal companions in contrast to magical ones. This doesn't include sentient animals, but more ones that are pets etc. Â The reason is that I find having magical animals as pets quite garish - they're too obviously trying to be "cool". This isn't to say they should be real animals necessarily, but certainly not hell-hounds or miniature dragons, but if you wanted, say, a fictional bear species or even something like a sabre-tooth tiger that'd work. If heroes with animal companions were real, having a tiny dragon companion would be the equivalent of walking into a room covered in excessive "bling". Generally just faintly embarrassing. Plus then the coolest thing about you would be your pet, not your heroing prowess. Â I'm all for dogs, big cats, wolves, giant versions of smaller animals, hawks, owls etc, but just not silly things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frisk Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I don't mind having the option of an animal companion - regardless of whether it is a mangy dog or an invisible pink unicorn - but if the animal takes up one of the regular companion slots, I'll probably not want to use it, Â The ideal option for me would be some unusual, intelligent/interactive companion - even something like Morte from PS:T or maybe even a magical/sentient weapon. 1 A few of my old tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jivex5k Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 A dog companion? No thanks.... A dog familiar or ranger pet? Yes please! Â But the pets should be very limited in ability. IE: All they do is attack and follow you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga C Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 A dog companion might make some sense, but methinks the Druid and/or Ranger classes should satisfy your desire for an animal companion via their ability to call one. Wizards could, of course, have familiars. I'd like to see that the FACs have well developed personalities, even at the expense of having a more limited number of them from which to choose. 1 http://cbrrescue.org/  Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forests and fields in which you walk.

Malau Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Why not something just for flavour? Like Minsc's squeaky companion. I don't mind a vampire butterfly the size of your dinner plate the feeds on nectar. Level up enough with you, you learn to create some form of poison from its wing flakes.
