[QUOTE="Thia Halmades, post: 2681790, member: 35863"] On Paladins: That's (again) much of where I'm going; that just shouldn't happen. It's really not a mount, as much as a Divine Companion in the shape of a horse (so we're on the same page precisely, despite the different campaign settings). Or a dog. Whatever, you get what I'm saying. With that, and using the owners will save... yielded, if you want them to keep the power, I'll submit that a minmum +5 would be appropriate. But I would also DMO a basic chart that determines ease. Eh, for example: Owner is beloved: +4 Owner is well liked: +2 Neutral towards owner: +/-0 Owner is disliked: -2 Owner is loathed: -4 Life-long companion (5+yr/Paladin's Mount): +4 Long-time companion (2-5 yrs): +2 Fairly new companion (less than 2 yr.): +/- 0 So that bonus won't apply to most PCs, but an NPC who's been with their familiar for the last 15 years has a Life-Long companion. It may like him, it may not. They may have a complex relationship and it boils down to neutral, but it reflects, at least in part, that the bond between a companion & an owner matters. You don't sound dismissive, you sound like a person who's worked his tail off and is defending the work he did. :) No dismiss taken, I'm the extra pair of eyes here. If one of my ideas is lame, by all means. "Thia... that's just lame." Works every time. No apology necessary, I'm glad to be of help. [/QUOTE]
