[QUOTE="Rashak Mani, post: 19447, member: 642"] Dam I was going to post this poll... got too late Well as for the Hawk vs Owl thing... I prefer the Owl... during the day I let my Owl sleep a while and then he stays awake at night when I am sleeping and sleeps a little during my turn of the watch. Therefore I am always alerted immediately if anything happens at night. Also during the day the chances of ambush and sneaking thieves is less than during the day. The owl can still due the day reconaissance as well. Invisible opponents are that much easier to locate and blast with the +14 listen of the Owl... +14 move silently hep Owl survive scouting. Combat wise the Hawk is better (NOTE ERRATA FOR OWL makes it attack damage basically sh*t) Combat with familiars is a good way to lose a familiar and not much else... Roleplaying wise I agree with the idea that a Hawk will not be associated with Witches and Mages... but that is an in game consideration. Even in cities I take my Owl along... she just flies overhead so as not to call too much attention. At the Inn I open the window for the owl to come in.... no problems at all. 1 mile communication is very good. As for TOADS !! They are pathetically useless !! Rather have a super scouting familiar ! Not getting ambushed is far more healthy than having more HPs (1 p/lvl !) to lose in the ambush. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
