### Pets

Pony Characters may want to have a companion animal or pet, a faithful friend who can be an invaluable adviser, act as the pony’s conscience, or sometimes just be an annoyance. The pets are able to think and act on their own and have their own qualities, undesirable traits and talents. During play, each player controls the action of his or her pet as well as their PC. As on option, it may be fun to assign different players to control each other’s pets. This adds a bit of surprise and unpredictability to the pets actions.

To create a companion animal, first decide what type of animal the pet is. Normal animals such as cats and dogs, birds, mice and rabbits are all possible, but the pet may also be any type of small forest creature or even a farm animal such a chicken. Some possible pets: Cats, Dogs, Rats, Frogs, Crows, Ferrets, Parrots, Field Mice, Owls, Snakes, Hamsters, Hawks, Rabbits. Squirrels

Just like a pony character, pets have their own personalities that should be taken into consideration, and role-played, when determining their actions and reactions during the game. Each pet should have one major personality trait that helps describe his/her overall disposition. Use the same personality traits that are available to pony characters.

The pets also have their own talents. Each pet should have only one main talent, and one secondary talent. Since pets are not given attribute ratings, the pet’s talent is the only modifier used for determining the success or failure of a pet’s actions. A pet’s primary talent is rated at level 5 and his/her secondary talent is rated at level 3. Should a pet become involved in hoofticuffs, it is considered out matched after taking one hit. Pets do not earn pony points like other characters.
