Question about the hound playbook pet:
In the rules it is mentioned that it counts as a cohort (Expert: Hunter), but do you use the usual rules for creating a cohort, i.e. do you have to apply edges & flaws?
I have 2 games right now and I handled it to the players’ desire in each of them, i.e. in one game, the hound pet has no edges/flaws and in the other it has 1 edge & flaw.
If edges & flaws should apply, maybe some more appropriate suggestion might help.
Also: What tier does the pet use for quality? The crews? It just feels a bit wrong to me.
Quality would definitely be Crew Tier + 1, since there’s really nothing else to base it on. I could go either way on the edges and flaws, but I’m inclined to use them. It kind of depends on how much personality you want the pet to have, though not all the options available will necessarily make sense.
Quality is Crew Tier +1 because it is an expert.
I’d definetly use the flaws and edges. It gives the GM more things to work with as a consequence, or to give the pet personality.
