----------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Companion Class : Beastmaster Cost : 20 Skill Type : Active Casting time : 4 Syntax : do companion [<animal>] Examples : do companion : do companion fox A Beastmaster is rarely encountered without some sort of animal aiding in his efforts. Thus, using this skill, an animal companion can be called to the native's side. This creature behaves like a familiar and is controlled like one too. There are important differences to note, however: - the type of animal that can be called depends on the terrain - the called animal is WILD, thus, it will attack if provoked - in general, it is a much better fighter than a familiar - each animal type has a special skill with which to assist the Beastmaster - the companion may not be told to 'scram' unless it is completely healthy (mind and body), and the Beastmaster is standing in natural, non-water surroundings - if the companion dies, it will shatter the Beastmaster's spirit Reading "help companions" will elicit the specific details of each companion type. NOTE: This skill has NOTHING to do with the "bond" skill. ----------------------------------------------------------------- See also: help companions, help spell familiar
