Item effect idea

[osmium]

Disregard if this has been put forth previously.

An effect which, when the item is equipped, will increase the power of summoned pets.

Could be increase in HD, +Dam, -AC, etc.

Edit: The effect would go into effect as the pets are summoned and would remain permanent on those pets.

After summoning, the eq could be replaced with your permanent eq, and the pets would remain at the boosted state.

Mmmmmm. Iiiiiinteresting.

Very interesting, indeed.

I used to play a cool game (Empire of the Petal Throne) which held that some uber weapons had "personalities" and therefore would roll a rxn die vs. charisma every time the weapon was used in combat.

Certain massively uber-weapons could have this special AFFECT proc, whereby some manner of affect might be levied upon the wielder or victim (sure the weapon could have a special bonus if wielded against evil vs. neutral... and be !e of alignment... and following that reasoning, could have the wielder rxn leavened by wielder alignment if align rest didn't prevent use!)

Woo. Very cool.

This is very possible now! The mechanic was put in place with the group affect mechanic that Group Inspire uses.

So perhaps we should come up with some interesting items that buff pets.
