[QUOTE="Joël of the FoS, post: 2519429, member: 17665"] Would not work all the time with me as DM: Reason #1: pigs aren't exactly docile, and would take a lot of time to herd properly. Lots of wasted time here. Reason #2: Also, the pigs are not idiot and blind animals. If they understand danger is in the front, like after one of their kind is zapped, they won't go. Reason #3: the noise they make. Nearly impossible for them to be silent. Reason #4: the smell (them and their rejections) would attract all wandering monsters in two miles, perhaps more. Impossible to sleep with these pigs around. Reason #5: magical traps can be set to react to a special alignement (let's say "good" aligned people), or type of creatures ("humanoid"); or normal traps can be set to work if the weight over the trap is at least 80 pounds, making a piglet pass but not a human. Be creative there! Reason #6: if there is a druid in the party, he won't allow it. Joël [/QUOTE]
