[QUOTE="Errant, post: 3131083, member: 1926"] Blaze might work. Similar enough to the other players' familiars' names they're not likely to rag on it too much. That alone makes it a definite contender. Plus its relatively dignified/"powerful" enough it could meet the draconic attitude standards others here have brought up... Yes, no, for a gung-ho Eberron party Danis will be joining that wouldn't be laughed out of the room immediately. Strangely, if Danis was a battle sorcerer/wizard of the group providing most of the firepower I think Bob would fit nicely. The light-hearted name would balance out the deadly battle focus of the PC. Good concept. Garnet (for a male) or Beryl (for a female) are workable I think. Since I don't actually own the Draconomicon & I'm hardly likely to buy it just for some names, any chance you could share some? OTH I like the attitude concept (nod to Kae'Yoss as well), I might even try to word up my DM to help bring out that prideful/fiesty personality. Awesome dog! Makes me wish I had time & a home big enough for my own dog. :/ Another cool idea for a high firepower PC's familiar IMHO. :) If I'd gone cat or weasel familiar Twitch would be perfect. Cool (I seem to use that word a lot, can't think of another word that has the same feel though :) ) Thanks for the replies everyone. Lots of good ideas, but don't let that stop anyone adding some more! =) [/QUOTE]
