[QUOTE="niklinna, post: 9249065, member: 71235"] I played a Hound with my first group, and being out of the core of the action as a sniper on overwatch was very much not what I did. But it is a fantastic option for the Hound! To clarify a bit, my hunting pet was a pair of ravens*, telepathically linked. We "balanced" there being two by them not being as effective in direct attacking as the usually assumed pet might be. They performed overwatch duties, when necessary, allowing me to remain with the party most of the time (to be sure there were times we split up). We were a crew of Shadows, and the rest didn't want to engage in overt violence much, but overt violence kept happening of course, and when it did, I was the one who dealt with it, often in the harshest way possible. It was a fun bit of tension in that I was absolutely necessary to the crew, but they weren't comfortable with how my character would just execute someone who threatened us (or you know, just someone, if they got on his bad side). * Like Odin, I like my ravens in pairs. That game ended prematurely, and I still miss playing the guy. One of my favoritest characters ever. Next time I get a chance to play Blades, I'm likely to play him again. [/QUOTE]
