[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8649302, member: 508"] Then of course there was my PC Jace Syngaard, a human fighter who was somewhat of a lout. About halfway through the campaign he purchased a [i]figurine of wondrous power[/i] - specifically, a [i]bronze griffon[/i] that he could ride into battle twice per week. I worked it out with the DM that instead of a command word to activate it, you would rub it like a genie's lamp - he saw no reason not to allow that small of a change. Then I named the [i]bronze griffon[/i] "Dick." So naturally, when an opportunity for mounted battle arose, Syngaard would state, "I pull my Dick out of my pocket, rub it until it gets bigger, and ride it into combat." He'd also shout at his enemies things like, "Do you dare face the awesome power of my Dick?" and offer to give the other PCs in the group a ride on his Dick. He also did this with a completely straight face as if he had no idea that what he was saying could be interpreted as anything but its face value - which was perfectly understandable, as he had a lower-than-normal Intelligence and was always misinterpreting what some of the bigger words other people around him used really meant. In that same campaign, another player ran a halfling rogue named Orion Nightsky. Orion had a riding dog named Carl for the first part of the campaign, but he got killed. That was actually the best thing that could have happened, though, for Carl came back as a ghost and Orion had a special saddle made that allowed her to ride on her incorporeal ghost-dog. The saddle was eventually upgraded so Carl could bring her along when he went ethereal, which came in really handy a few times when we needed to stealthily infiltrate a building without being spotted. And best of all, if he got killed during an adventure it was no big deal - he'd just remanifest back in a day or two. Finally, that campaign also featured a human paladin named Galen Thorne who chose to wait to summon his paladin mount until later on so he could get a more powerful creature than normal, eventually getting a dire lion he named "Burt" (after Bert Lahr, the actor who played the Cowardly Lion in "The Wizard of Oz," intentionally spelled differently).
