I don't like having 1st-level commoners carry my stuff; if I can't carry it, it isn't worth looting or carrying on adventures. I don't want to protect the wimps either. I understand that at least some 1e groups might gasp at such a statement. I also have an aversion to equal-levelled allies; go adventure by yourselves. And I have an aversion to powerful allies, because of all the negatives that go with overpowered DMPCs. I want to adventure with the other PCs, played by the other players, and no one else.Worse, unlike animal companions, they aren't pets. They're intelligent and (eventually) can talk, or something akin to talking. So you're supposed to RP with them beyond "I use my laser pointer spell to tease my cat familiar" ^^ But I don't want to RP with something that can't decide if its an NPC or PC or whatever. I'd rather RP with important NPCs and with the other PCs.</blockquote>
