Hrm.... I feel like we could get some tweaks for familiars.

Like: to make them follow people. I'd be grand if we could make them stalk and then hit UNITE.

Make them to attack denizens!

And to use some options of emotions, for RP.

Bonds can follow others, and attack others on command.. and you can unite as well to the bond.

Beasts can attack denizens, and players.

tada?

can they?
as much as I know, the bonded animal can follow only you.

and beasts require an entirelly new skillset...

You can ORDER FOLLOW

Stalking and uniting is a part of the Tracking HuntingCompanion and related abilities. They can do a whole lot more, too.

Yes, that is the point.

hmm... ok... thanks for explaining the follow command.

it seems that the only thing that remains is: beastmastery is too expensive... if beasts can attack denizens and players, I don't see why a bonded animal couldn't.

by the way... the unity is available at ecology already... I was just suggesting the follow plus unity as a combo (to give emphasys into the importance of follow).

A familiar already *can* attack people (doesn't do very much though). Dunno about denizens - haven't tried.

If Ecology familiars are like Tracking companions, then no, they can't attack denizens.

And I didn't know that familiars go Unite as well. I learned something.
