Tal Meta:
<< Has anyone attempted using a herd-man as a familiar? My group recently encountered such a beast while attempting to apprehend a sorcerer (in the Malkioni sense of the word) and were misled into believing for quite awhile that the herd-man familiar was in fact the sorcerer. >>

Eh? I thought that familiars could only be incomplete creatures or inanimate objects, and a herd-man is neither. Mind you, I always thought it was a bit of a pity you couldn't have a black cat as a familiar or something like that. Have I misread the rules or has Tal? Or is there some way of making a familiar I've forgotten about?

And on another subject, Nils (I think) said:

I thought that was the Pentans..?

Forward the glorious Red Army!
