Does one simply use the dog stats for the guard dog and not the riding dog stats?

The example for afflictions - which includes curses, diseases, and poisons? - seems a bit confusing to me. The suggestion seems to be that when you make contact with an affliction, you make a save. In the case of the disease described in the example, the sample PC makes save on contact, fails it and contracts the disease. The, after the onset, he makes another save to see if he is affected by the disease. Its a 1/day disease, so if he saves 2 days in a row he's cured - or if someone casts remove disease on him.

Now... how does this work with poisons? If there is no onset time, is the contracting and the affecting save the same? What about poisons with onset times? Do they have a contracting save and a separate affecting save, like the above-mentioned disease?

The monkey familiar does 1d3-4 dmg. Does it simply do 1 point of nonlethal every time?

I have a few questions to start off. Is it the perception that 3.5 Wizards were overpowered and thus the recieved the least amount of alteration of the 3.75 mods? I have a friend who makes combat-oriented characters and he seems to think that because of the feats every two levels and the rogue talents, rogues are overpowered if they go the combat route?
