Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maidhc O Casain" data-source="post: 4890008" data-attributes="member: 29558">Having to train the dog is cool - I'm not looking for a cheap way to get an Animal Companion early. One question about training - there's no description of Guard Dog in the text. I would assume that if one buys a 'Guard' dog it would be trained for that general purpose. Can we say my character has been working with the dog pre-game and trained it for the general purpose 'Guard?' This would include the Tricks Attack, Defend, Down and Guard.In regard to the cost, the only flaw that I see is that I'm not really getting anything for that extra 15 gold until 4th level, when I would get my (newly improved and much larger dog) for free with the Hunter's Bond anyway.  I'd be willing to go much higher (perhaps as high as 75 gold?) for a big fierce dog with wolf stats at first level, but it seems like if I'm paying extra I should get something for the money . . .If you think this would unbalance the game initially, another option would be for me to pay the 40 gold, and have the dog improve gradually (either a little each level or once at 2nd level and then again at 4th). This would be more realistic than a sudden jump from 'Dog' to 'Wolf' stats and would give me a little something for the extra money, but would involve a bit more thought and record keeping.Also, there's not a lot of info in the PG regarding specific neighborhoods/area of Westcrown. Could you help me out with a neighborhood/area appropriate for a 'street urchin/orphan' background?</blockquote>
