[Churchofgaming] [OD&D] dogs!

[james]

Another idea then:

Fighters can choose one of a number of abilities, one of which is having a 'pet'. 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.
