"Yes! cute furry creatures really make my day!!!REALLY REALLY make my day...(you sick puppy...)"
me scared now...
sorry guys, when i read the name, morgan, i naturally thought of morgan le fay, the only fantasy use of the name morgan i could think of...
ya know. i really really think a good case could be made for the chinchilla familiar, if we could come up with a really cool special ability...for example, boo2 has a really wild and crazy view range, and its almost immune to magic, which means she could be used like the mustard jelly shapechange form to draw fire from magic based monsters, like liches, so what special ability of the chinchilla familiar could be suggested???
scouting has been done, so has pickpocketing, how about great trap detection and disarm???
this way you would not need a thief in the party at all, just have the chinchilla disarm all the traps your party finds...
and i think the standard ferret familiar in the game normally has good trap detection and disarm...but i was thinking more in the line of 100% for detect traps and disarm...
and unlike the regular familar with its rather boring and limited dialog...
sola: you ok there buddy?? why dont ya just jump in my pack so you will be safe??
chinchilla: no, cant i just play with boo for a while longer? bounce , bounce, bounce...whee!!!
the chinchilla could have a lot of funny things to say...
like unsolicited advice to sola about his love life...
chinchilla: so why dont you make a move for charname, buddy boy? oooohhhh...he's all scared now...scardy cat...eeekk,,,,boo, honey, save me! sola got all huffy and now he is chasing me with a frying pan...save me!!!
and the chinchilla could romance boo if minsc is in the party...
squeek, eek!!
like that idea, boo???
