Spiderdrake posted:What the hell is a divine mind It's a psionic class set up similarly to the paladin or ranger--it has the same weak-rear end manifestation progression that those classes do with spellcasting and the way it gets its powers is tied into its class abilities in a way that adds complexity with little return. So, basically "psionic paladin," with abilities that can possibly be better, but it's not really worth planning it all out to optimize them. Except whoops, they got the cleric's BAB, so they just suck.

A Big Dark Yak posted:One of my friends has made a druid for our D&D game next weekend, and her animal companion is a fleshraker dinosaur with many of its bonus tricks used to teach it different styles of dance. A guy I play with is trying to raise a roc as an animal companion, and he still refuses to let me pull off the old "Flaming ball of poo" trick with the assistance of the roc. Can't figure out why.

Stone shape is awesome. I once defeated a prismatic sphere with it, by just removing so much of the ground beneath where the wizard was standing in the sphere, that the ground she was standing on proceeded to fall down a few floors of her stone tower, while the sphere of course remained stationary.

Well, this strip proves to me that Mr. Scruffy is definately no ordinary cat. That is extremely uncat-like behavior, and would be pretty intelligent for even a dog. Before someone says "duh he's Belkar's animal companion," first of all, if you want to be picky, cat's aren't on the list of allowed animal companions, but that can be easily hand-waved. However, animal companions are different from familiars in that they don't gain any increased intelligence whatsoever. They're just tougher than average. Something strange is up with that cat, and I fully expect some kind of plot twist or revelation concerning him down the road.

At one point I thought he might be Dorukan's familiar sent to spy on the Azure city gate, but that doesn't fit with his combat abilities.

Simple solution: Class levels. Mr. Scruffy got roleplaying XP from acing as Chief Advisor to Lord Shojo.

He's one guy's familiar and also Belkar's animal companion, getting both benefits. That cat is double dipping.

Alternately, Mr. Scruffy is a servant of Tiger (or one of the other Twelve Gods but Tiger makes the most sense).

He has levels in Feline Urban Ranger, and has chosen Belkar as his humanoid companion. As a humanoid companion Belkar gains a more cunning perspective on the world, and will instinctively protect his master even at great risk to his own life. Scruffy in turn gains the ability to understand common speech, and while he cannot command Belkar directly, he is able to influence him in subtle ways (such as by appearing in his dreams in the guise of an elderly aristocrat whom Belkar respects).

Hey, Roy, you big jerk, way to not give two craps about the concerns of your subordinates. I know you're having fun talking down to Durkon, but Belkar there is prepared to do time for your mission, so maybe you can spare five words to say, 'Remember to bring Mr. Scruffy."
