[QUOTE="Ziggy, post: 130033, member: 148"] Hi! I've got this beautiful miniature of a huge monstrous scorpion with an orc rider that I want to use in my campaign. But when I looked for explanations for how the rider managed to control to scorpion within the rules, I was totally stumped. It's not a beast or animal, so animal empathy/handle animal should not work. It's immune to mind-affecting spells, so any dominate or enslave type spells would not work. The rider will be a 8th level goblin druid, so I though of house-ruling that goblins might take vermin as "animal" companions. But with the new rules for companions, he is limited to 8HD creatures (and the scorpion is 16 HD). Thus I don't like this option anymore. I could also invent a "rod of vermin control", but that is also far into house-rule territory. Are there any spells, items, skills etc. that can be used to control vermin, or must I resport to some sort of house-rule to build this combo ? .Ziggy [/QUOTE]
