[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5865109, member: 6673727"] [sblock=SK]Few things: - I think you're seriously over-estimating the analytical capacity of a horse. The fact that they also don't see the color spectrum like we do is worth consideration. - From how I read the text on combat trained animals, it has nothing to do with responding to unfamiliar entities; it has to do with executing maneuvers such as heel, guard, attack, etc. - His face is, for all intents and purposes, mask-like. It clearly does not resemble an actual bird, and I think it is unfair for you to presume so. Even so, would a tengu have the same problems? I would certainly not consider that valid. - The eidolon may be an unusual thing, but a) it alters Mesem's appearance minimally, and b) the presence of the Unnatural Aura evolution itself suggests to me that causing such a disturbance isn't in the intrinsic nature of the eidolon. Now: I generally try to go with the flow with things, and I don't mean to over-question this. But my concern is that you are penalizing my PC based on your (subjective) interpretation of fluff, without any forewarning or consideration of my experience of the game. In a home game, I would work with the GM on constructing my character in a way which fits their view of things, but given the fluid nature of LPF, that's just not possible in this instance. It's not that I'm worried about this situation specifically - I either make my Handle Animal check and calm the creature down, or try a few other things - but that you're going to continue to penalize my PC based solely on your view of the fluff, which is, frankly, a view that I don't share. Sorry if I'm being unreasonably problematic in this instance, but this is a pretty beloved hobby of mine, and I would hate to have it marred by your insistence on penalizing my PC for reasons I don't fully understand.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
