Clearly I should be able to change back to Blademaster and teach my beast to pinleg for me.

They only do like 50 damage a hit.

What Krin is saying is that someone with multiple pets can have them follow around and they do some damage. You won't be able to do anything else with them (since they aren't beasts), however, which is my point. Yes, there's a small advantage but I think it is small enough that I don't believe we should worry about it.

Even so, the damage is so minimal...if someone pays the $ to purchase 10 pets then damn they deserve a little more DPS.

pets had a very minor damage

6622h, 6151m, 5809e, 10p, 26140en, 24655w elrxk<>-

Sophrosyne, the Watcher wounds you with a glancing cut.
6557h, 6151m, 5809e, 10p, 26140en, 24655w elrxk<>-

(65 damage a hit)
That much. Anyone doing the misinformed damage Krin is claiming would need at least 10 pets. anyone that paid for 10 pets deserves to do the additional damage.

anyway as it stands it seems to be better to just use my collared pegasus as beast.

Kehehehe ninjaaaad.

None of that changes. Pets retain their reactons, mail delivery, package delivery, or whatever other option. The only exception is invincibility which is chaned to the phoenix power.

Also, pets will never starve and do not need to be fed (though you can feed them if you want!). They do, however, need reagents. Another special ability of pets is the ability to retrain your pet (i.e., change its abilities if you aren't happy with them). This can be done once per month.

the damage is considered an advantage?

So if I'm quick can I buy 33 squirrel pets with damage attacks? Pwease?

Edit: RABID SQUIRRELS OF DHOOM, squad B, attack!

If you want to spend 11k credits on squirrels, I may be persuaded to oblige...

It sounds like beasts will be customized based on what they eat and how their trained.

Is this sort of an experiment with emergent or simulation type gaming? Do pets form a personality towards denziens or other PCs. Is this similar to Black and White or Tamagohti pets?

Hey if you pay for 16500 credits (or 4700 dollars) you can get a zap for all I care.

Less credit mongering, more answering previously asked questions!

Beastmastery lacks vaulting. Was this intended?

"RIDING - VAULT

Syntax: VAULT
Instead of mounting a loyal steed, you can vault onto it, cutting your balance time by two-thirds."

Seems like an extremely vital ability for it to not be included in this skillset.

We'll just have to see, won't we...

How much to bribe you to upgrade my -pet- with delivery

Any chance these things will have other tie-ins with the tradeskills, like constructs or figurines do?

I thought I was answering all the questions! Repeat any that I missed!

Er, the cost of upgrading any pet with delivery!
