One of my players has come to me asking if his Pirate themed halfling beast ranger can have a monkey pet. It certainly looks fine on the surface of things but talking to him I became a little uneasy.
He wants to arm it with daggers and even eventually a friggin flintlock(I allow those). I didn't want to just shut him down, he is making a ranger character to act as a healer for the party. This isn't any sort of power play, he just loves the idea of his Monkey pet(Mister Smee) gaining Intelligence as he gains levels and becoming more of party mascot/npc/member.
I'm tempted to just say hell yes as the players is having such a great time with this but i do want to keep an eye out for the future as well. Some of my other players are not so altruistic and don't want to unleash a very funny but disruptive aspect to our games.
What do you guys think?
