I have a mage in the game I'm running who made several wise choices and moves and because of them knocked out a hellhound guard, rather than killing it. She then, immediately after the run, began working to try to train it to be her pet. She has as many knowledge skills that are applicable to this as is physically possible, so it seems a reasonable thing to let her do, I mean her character is almost designed for it.
However, I'm worried about the balance issues this obviously poses. I was hoping I could get some insight as to how to prevent this from becoming a problem in the game. |
