Rules for Pets and Allies

[Silverblaze]

I don't want this thread dying either.  It has a lot of potential.

I just don't have a lot to add.  I'm pretty friggin' busy with RL atm.

I can say this.

We are not likely to agree on a system anytime soon. 

I would likely try something like making a post for this on the resources board linking this thread.  Then every so often post an updated system for Pets/Allies.

Then people whol ike it can use it.  They can also build on it and the thread will not be lost, since people will likely keep posting ideas about it.

Not looking for consensus. But I want something workable, and I can't manage that alone.

I'm going to make a character with these rules soon for an upcoming PbP. I'll keep y'all posted.

Just a thought:

While supplemental actions do not normally require a roll, how about directing the pet/ally as a supplemental action.  You'd roll Rapport/Survival/Presence?  The higher the roll the more accurately the per or ally would follow your directions. 

[Sanctaphrax]

I could see requiring a supplemental action for complicated instructions. But something like "shoot that guy" probably shouldn't require anything like that.

I think that the game I was going to use these for may have fallen through.

But I still want to finish them. They're so close to done.

Anybody else keen to put the finishing touches on these?
