Our little pet monstrosities!

[Halae]

Alright, i was discussing with a friend about rust monsters when I remembered that level 1 of the Beast Heart Adept prestige class allows you to treat aberrations and magical beasts as animals for Handle Animal. This instantly got me thinking about getting a rust monster larva, since you can now rear them like animals. I'd call it Fido :smallcool:

What other interesting 1-2 magical beasts and aberrations do you think would be really cool to raise like this? This is all theoretical, so put in all the cheese you want

[Quietus]

Hydras have their 2 intelligence, so you can already do this with them - even without special prestige classes, just taking a penalty on Handle Animal.

[Halae]

ture, but this lets you do it to aberrations as well, which is what makes the rust monster idea viable, and it eliminates the penalty, which is always nice

Get a pet Gibbering Mouther. Freak people out with it. Boom.

[Grommen]

I would want a Pet Roc.

Kython....

failing that

Graboids, Shriekers, and @$$-Blasters

OR A HEADCRAB :smallbiggrin:

hedy? hedy lammarr where are you?!

[mootoall]

I would want a Pet Roc.

I think I'm qualified to give you a cookie for that.

This class feature is ripe for abuse with some help from the feeblemind spell. You can only do a handle animal on magical beasts and aberrations with a INT stat of 1 or 2. But feeblemind drops the victim's INT to 1 making the target viable for animal handling. Want a pet mimic? You're in luck.

Come to think of it, is there anything stopping you from using this ability on a purple worm? Sadly, tarrasque's are out since they have an INT of 3 and an immunity to ability damage.

There's nothing stopping you.

Also, he's not immune to ability drain :smallcool:

Of course, you'd have to figure out how to get a baby tarrasque in order to rear it, and that would be an absolutely ungodly skill DC, but hey, if you can do it, more power to you.

I thought there was no such thing as a baby tarrasque - the creature (when it reappears) comes back fully grown I'd assumed.
