Hypothetical PC Pet/Companion
Hey, y'all!
This is completely hypothetical, but how would you handle it if one character had a pet, but that pet was supposed to be a full PC played by another character?
I mean... No backstory for the 'owner', or class requirement. In fact, they don't play into this. What race/class combo would you go with for the pet?

Hengeyoukai. The 'owner' may not be even aware that their 'pet' is more than a normal animal of it's type.

LOVE IT! That's a great idea! I didn't even think about that one!

Any Druid that is always in the Beast Form is plausible, if I read correctly.

Re: Hypothetical PC Pet/Companion
A Gnoll tempest-fighter/ranger/barbarian with the 'Claw fighter' feat?
The owner would need to equip the pet with armour, but that's totally a D&D thing.

Re: Hypothetical PC Pet/Companion
I also like both of those a lot, too.
With the Gnoll Claw Fighter idea, how would you begin to optimize something like that? It is somewhat low weapon damage, but maybe a rogue might be a good option, seeing as it's more about getting SA rather than heavy weapon damage?
How would you optimize these builds, period? Just curious, y'all. Thanks for the help!

Intelligent magical animals who can assume human form, or a hybrid form. Detailed in Dragon 404.

Re: Hypothetical PC Pet/Companion
Refluff halfling into monkey
play a Monkey Monk!
cloth armour and slotted items can be waistcoat and adorable accessories, ki focus can be a collar.
In heroic, equip a dejada (dark sun sling-weapon) and say it's just natural throwing ability. (skipping stone flurry)
In paragon... just straight up use a dagger (or get something for free weapon-swapping to use dagger and dejada) because once you are in paragon, all bets are off. (starblade flurry)Always kill your enemies, otherwise they will come back to haunt you - anon
