Oh, you want a pet. They can be SO useful. When I was playing my Ifrit Anti Paladin, he had a pet hawk (or was it a falcon? Can't remember, not important). It didn't level, but it did some useful things. EG, we went for a night attack against a fortified bandit camp. Well, his hawk fetched the torch out of the sconce, and our party just walked straight in past the guards (because we had Darkvision and the didn't, harhar) and killed their leader in his sleep. The hawk actually distracted a lot of enemies and dodged quite a bit and was generally a nuisance. It even acted as a guard against night attacks in-camp, and when they were doing illegal shit...it got to the point where the GM was actively trying to kill "That damned bird," as he put it, but failed to do so. :P<br/><br/><br/>@Kujo:<br/><br/>Don't. At least, not yet. The game will be starting this weekend, hopefully, and we'll be starting in the middle of the city in a tavern. As far as I am aware, a horse would be relatively pointless.
