[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 5496010, member: 6666968"] [sblock=ooc]On the dndsheets page, Henry has 27 words that he knows as instinctual actions. "Attack strangers" = "attack humanoids who are not friends". Friend = party member or someone Marshan has specifically placed his hands on and said slowly "Friend". Squishy = stranger not wearing armor. TinCan = Stranger wearing armor. Slap = hit only with the claws doing non-lethal damage. Critter is an animal smaller than him. Beast is an animal as big or bigger than him. Roka is to growl and pound his chest menacingly. Had to pick a different word so it didn't sound like "Bluff the stranger", when in reality, that is what it is. When I take his Int up to 4, it will expand his instinctual words to 4^3=64. I figure that is a good approximate rule. With the share language spell, he can understand, "Go get the blue bucket and bring it to me." but he has to take a std action to process and think it out before starting his move. He can even read, but it is sounding out each word like a five year old. He will occasionally speak as well, but in one or two word sentences. At least, that is the way I planned to run him. As far as initiative, if he wins initiative vs Marshan, his only action is defending him self until Marshan or Toddy gives him instructions. In PFS, if the animal has an Int 3, handle animal checks are not needed, because the animal understands language. That is part of the reason why I am spending two buff spells a day on the companions. But, I don't see a specific statement in the CRB, so Marshan needs to adjust his skills around a bit next time. He didn't take Handle Animal. So, 0+4 my pet + 1 Cha = +5 [/sblock][sblock=Micro Stats] [SIZE=2][COLOR=Cyan]Marshan[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] HP [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=PaleGreen]41[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], AC [COLOR=Yellow]18[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], med, Pos B6, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=Gray]C4E4s2s1c4c1c2[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]. .[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=Plum]Toddy[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] HP [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=PaleGreen]30[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], AC [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=Yellow]24[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], med, Pos J5 hovering [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]. .[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=PaleTurquoise]Henry[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] HP [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=PaleGreen]37[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], AC [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=PaleGreen]22[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], large, Pos E5-F6 [/SIZE][/sblock][SIZE=2] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
