Dogs aren't on the equipment list I'm using. However, I've found an unofficial class; the Beastmaster. This class represents wilderness-y type characters who have pets / animal companions / familiars. You can find it at http://www.swordsandwizardry.com/wbbeastmaster.pdf Anyone interested? If not, please send your ideas. Thanks, James.

Other choices might be things like resistance to poison, resistance to the special attacks of the undead, being better at sneaking around etc. Magic-Users can give up a spell-slot in return for a familiar. > -------Original Message------- > From: Lev Lafayette > To: james , Church of Gaming > Subject: Re: [Churchofgaming] [OD&D] dogs! > Sent: 04 Nov '10 09:54 > > On Wed, 2010-11-03 at 14:17 +0000, james wrote: > > A couple of people asked about their character getting a dog.

It's totally loyal, doesn?t get XP, and doesn?t count as a hireling. HD1 (roll when it first takes damage), AC14, 1d4 damage, move 15.
