War Dogs...

[weswood]

When I first started playing RPGs, I played Dungeons & Dragons. My character was a pretty weak fighter who was several levles lower than the rest of the group, so he bought a war dog. The dog was named Rauol (odd how I remember this over 25 years later) who was a bad, bad puppy. He had one less hit point than the character (Homer the elven fighter). Every time Homer would go up a level, the DM let me add his hit points to the dog. I think when the dog finally died he had 23 hit points.

Those hyenas are huge, I never realized they were so big. I guess I've never seen them next to a person before to give a size reference. I'm definately going to have to add a pack of zoo escapees to my list of random encounters!

Somewhere in the news (For Your Eyes Only, I think) I just saw that the Iraqis are just now overcoming the Arabic distaste for dogs, to start training their own. Seeing them in the US services is obviously what gave them the idea.

My last D&D 3.5 character was a druid-fighter with a war dog. We referred to the dog as the "second-best fighter in the company." My dice seemed to like her better than my "real" PC, anyway.

It would seem a cinch for any group to want to have trained guard or hunting dogs in T2k.

When we were teenagers I ran a D&D campaign that MajorPo played in and he played a druid (whose name is now lost in the mists of time). This druid had a war dog named Lionel. The druid died on about the second session of the campaign and MajorPo asked me if he could play Lionel who was much more effective in combat anyway. Despite the limited role playing opportunities Lionel actually fared spectacularly well.

I had this for awhile, so I thought I should post it. The dogs info this from Paul's site.
