[QUOTE="Therigwin, post: 311269, member: 6679"] [b]Companions[/b] Well, you asked :D WARNING LONG POST (Since Fluids boards are down right now) This is what I have found so far to be missing . . . Companions (Animal Friends, Familiars, Fiendish Servants, Undead Servants, & Shadow for Shadow Dancer) Companions – Druids can only have one companion at a time and it can be of any HD… The actual rule is “You can have animal friends whose Hit Dice total no more than twice your caster level. You may dismiss animal friends to enable you to befriend new ones. For example, a 3rd-level druid could use the spell to win the friendship of an animal of 6 HD or less, and a 6th-level ranger could use it to win the friendship of an animal of 3 HD or less.” Rangers should be able to gain animal companions starting at 4th level, since animal friendship is a 1st level Ranger spell as well. Right now they cannot. Blackguards – No default mon or rac files selected as fiendish or undead companions. You need to create them first. Ex-Paladin – No loss of mount. Mount is still available. From SRD Ex-Paladins: A paladin who ceases to be lawful good, who willfully commits an evil act, or who grossly violates the code of conduct loses all special abilities and spells, [B]including the service of the paladin's mount.[/B] She also may not progress in levels as a paladin. She regains her abilities if she atones for her violations, as appropriate. Shadowdancer – Companions do not show up at 3rd level and shadow mon and rac files are not marked as shadow companions. Special Abilities not reflected on companion stat block for familiars, mounts, fiendish and shadow companions – ie Improved evasion, share spells, empathic link, etc [B]Suggestion[/B] – Instead of the companions being based off a mon file, have it based of a race file initially. Then, when a companion is added, create the default mon file based on the race, add a button to switch to the monster editor. This way the paladin can fully equip his mount with armor, etc. You could then name the it based on the name of the chr file like CharName_CompName.mon As it is, it looks like I may custom make some mon files in the time being with the purchased armor. [B]Suggestion 2[/B]- Building off of the first suggestion, if any character buys an animal, then have it create a mon file with a button linking it to the character. Then it would be nice if you could transfer goods between the character and the animal that was purchased. [B]Suggestion 3[/B] – allow anyone to get any type of companion and as many as they want, but report rule violations on the DM tab. [/QUOTE]
