Retainer reminders
Posted by Apostate on 07/11/19
So a couple rules about retainers that I think bears repeating since it's easy to miss:
For animal retainers, any large animal retainer must be a commonly domesticated animal, such as a dog. Nothing exotic (tigers for example), nothing that's not commonly domesticated (bears, wolves). Going beyond that needs to be GM'd, and more than likely we'll introduce coded exceptions later, with animal training and the like. For small animal retainers, it's fine as long as it's something that could be reasonably obtained and trained (birds for example).
For human retainers, no child retainers, or retainers that look underage. There's a lot of reasons for this, but I'll probably increasingly lean into putting retainers at risk with coded outcomes later on and that's not a great combination there.
