[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5975725, member: 6674868"] I'm concerned about the potential for abuse (even though I'm the one considering it). My Rogue/Master Thrower will be breeding these Aberrations, and Magic of Eberron says one Throwing Scarab should be worth 1,000gp to count as treasure. They can communicate telepathically with the host. He'll take pretty good care of them. The Alignment is listed as "Usually Lawful Evil" and although the PC will be NG, they have an Ego score of 2 and an INT of 5 so I don't foresee them being ambitiously against the PC host, and would have reasons for their own survival to help him. He'll wear a Rogue Vest and be sleeveless to have quick access to the creatures attached up his arm and the weapons they provide as free actions. So, the abuse: Should, for 12,000 worth of treasure items, a PC be able to get a +24 to certain skill checks? I imagine with Listen and Spot checks, these tiny voices telepathically whispering "Do you hear that? Over there." or "What was that movement to the right?" and then all of them as well as the host paying attention. It would be much easier then rolling a Listen check for my PC, then 12 other listen checks at a +5 for each of the scarabs, but it would also be much, much more powerful. Obviously this all comes down to my DM's call. I just want to make sure I'm not too obnoxious before I bring it up to him. [/QUOTE]
