[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 913398, member: 6562"] Monkeys are very cool, if she can train it with tricks. [b]Fetch[/b]: get some item that's in plain view, but hard for a PC-sized creature to reach (under a grate, high in a tree, beyond some bars, on the other side of a rope bridge over a chasm, etc.). [b]Go[/b]: scout to some location within plain view and look around. (Very useful if combined with [i]Speak With Animals[/i] so the monkey can relay information -- again, the monkey can climb into places that a PC couldn't fit easily). [b]Fling Poop[/b]: not for use in actual combat, but to insult her adversaries in a humorous way. If the signal to this trick is subtle enough, she can feign ignorance -- "My dear monkey is usually so well behaved, Your Grace. Perhaps it was your pronouncement on the worthlessness of his native jungle that set him off? Regardless, rest assured that I will ensure he receives the treatment he deserves when we return home." (In this case, the "treatment" is a banana and a pat on the head.) [b]Harass[/b]: fing rocks, sticks and (if available) poop at someone, while running away from them -- perhaps leading them to the Druid's ambush. Useful against easily angered foes in a jungle. [b]Pick Pocket[/b]: go through some unattended container and take small objects from it. This is good for an urban Druid, who acts as the distraction. -- Nifft [/QUOTE]
