I've been looking at the Planar Motes from the Complete Scoundrel book.
They seem cool to have, but unfortunately they will eventually disappear.
It also states they will fly away if you don't keep in something like a jar.
So I was wondering: Is there a way to turn these little blobs of planar... matter......? into something that resembles a companion? I want them to be able to interact with me and others (talking will do) without them disappearing after a while or just flying away if they're not in a container.
While hunting for other magic stuff in the DMG I came across intelligent items. I figured that a Planar Mote isn't exactly an item, but I think that similar rules could apply to them for what I want to achieve. Besides, the possibility to add a few powers to them neither hurts nor feels out of place.
I was wondering what you guys think of this. Would you allow such a thing as a DM? If yes, how would you rule it? Any thoughts in general about this?
