[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 4810668, member: 463"] 1. Yes, guard dogs in D&D are more powerful IRL (or 0th & 1st level humans are weaker) - compared to 3e's commoner-chewing housecat the difference is small, though. And movie-Conan's father was eaten by war dogs, remember! 2. Real life fighting dogs really will indeed attack without fear. Dunno about undead though; I use them mostly on goblins & such tasty morsels. :) 3. Training - indeed, that was my whole point. The valuable dogs are the [B]ones you start play with[/B], the ones you (pre-game) had raised from cubs and spent months training to be your loyal companions. Only the softest of old school GMs would let you go into a shop once play had begun and let you buy them off-the-rack fully trained and loyal. [/QUOTE]
