[QUOTE="akr71, post: 7004705, member: 6801213"] I'm running HotDQ for my players and in the middle section(s) the party passes through some major cities - even spending 10 days in Baldur's Gate. In an effort to be prepared I made lists of the type of shops that they would be able to find easily and what magic items they might be able to buy. What did they go in search for? Animals! Totally took me by surprise, but I went with it and the assassin has himself a pet hawk which he has been training for the last number of days. Now the monk tells me that she wants to buy a pet too. A cat - not a house cat, but some sort of wildcat, like a bobcat or lynx or something. At least this time I have a bit of time to prepare, but what to use as a base stat block? A house cat is a tiny beast, CR 0 and doesn't feel right. A panther is a medium beast, CR 1/4. I'm thinking small beast, CR 1/8 which leads me to re-skinning a giant rat and giving it more cat-like abilities like Keen Smell, but Pounce feels too much for a small beast. Any ideas? Oh yeah, the warlock in the group is pact of the chain, with a pseudodragon familiar. I've got a travelling circus on my hands.. :erm: [/QUOTE]
