Otherwise, they're basically like animal companions?BTW, bestowing sneak attack to a Tiny Mechanical snake...It is interesting that in the first paragraph, it says they can't attack, then later says they can.  Typo?  Because they can obviously attack.  I'm excited.  This is a very multi layered character, being a charming rogue who shirks social norms and gets away with it, while also being a master of disguise who can convince anyone he is anyone, who likes to tinker on little robots when nobody is looking.  Man.  He might become one of my favorite characters so far.  There's just so much I can do with him.</blockquote>
