d and D players how much personality do
0:02
you give to familiars and animal
0:04
companions in your games do you treat
0:07
them like a completely independent
0:09
character who has you know thoughts
0:11
feelings opinions i I guess that's going
0:13
to vary depending on how smart they are
0:15
and how much they can speak or do you
0:18
just treat them basically like an
0:19
appendage or a piece of equipment um in
0:22
most of the games I'm in familiars and
0:25
animal companions are basically just an
0:27
appendage on their characters and we
0:28
don't give them a ton of attention or
0:30
personality mostly because I'm I'm
0:33
typically in a larger group like five
0:35
six players so there really isn't space
0:38
for that character to you know exist to
0:41
have a a personality independent of
0:43
their master but I've also you know I've
0:46
been in smaller games i've seen other
0:48
games i've uh listened to podcasts where
0:52
like familiars frequently have a big
0:54
important personality and they're an
0:56
interesting beloved character in their
0:58
own right so uh yeah I'm just curious
1:01
what are your experiences how do you
1:03
prefer to handle animals in the
