I'm curious if anyone has ever started an adventure this way with the players being summoned by a mighty mage to aid him against his foes. |

| #3devincutlerAug 26, 2015 0:54:33 | Sort of. In my 3.5 campaign the PCs kept summoning a celestial bison, so for one adventure I had the owner of the bison summon the PCs to help find the bison a celestial mate. It was sort of a turn about is fair play. |

I love very much the idea about a module for monster pets/allies, but it would need a special XPs reward because it may breack the balance of game. I bet we will see it, because monster pets means more miniatures to be bought by players for warbands/skirmishes games. |
