[QUOTE="dmccoy1693, post: 4821857, member: 51747"] Did that before I came here. I was hoping someone figured it out already. Oh well. Dang! good catch. I think I have a very good idea. Many moons ago I ran an exalted game. I gave the players a little friend. It was a jelly fish looking creature that attached itself to the shoulder of one of the players. It had 2 purposes: 1) comic relief and 2) Oh Crap moments. It was comic relief by being both incredibly smart and incredibly dumb at the same time. It called the player that it attached itself to "Mommy" despite both the player and character being male. It sang incredibly silly songs while the players walked from location to location. It slept through most combats. But then one time the players faced off against a demon. The encounter was suppose to be cake walk. Rolls went bad. Very bad. The demon's stated goal was to possess a particular player. Before it could, I had shoulder jellyfish creature "eat" the demon. I think MiTD is/was something from Rich's game to get the players out of a jam. But instead of having it with the PCs int he comic, he placed it with the NPCs. This lessens confusion as to who is and is not a PC. When Rich used it in his home game, he probably had no clue what it could do. I imagine he now knows the full extent of its power. [/QUOTE]
