Hi everybody,
Last year i started on a halfing zen monk and on my sheets i got the boon for the axebeak animal companion. Now my monk is a worshiper of Irouri(sp) and i really was thinking of multiclassing to be able to get the benefit of this boon.

now my question for you guys is seeing how magic is kind of a no/no for my deity and i am currently level 4, if it was worth it to multiclass into cavalier instead of druid? I would take the animal boon feat at 5th, so the animal is the same level as me and go back into monk after that to get my benefits at monk 6, than finish my career as a cavalier.

This will really help the character in the long run as charisma was a dump stat for me and it gives the skill focus at 3rd level in pfs. now i know this means my animal will be two levels lower than me but will it be able to stay alive without more boosts? I dont mind buying potions for it and i think the concept would be really fun, but any input from other players would be great. Thanks

So I've been dm/gming for years and i never really had this problem with my groups untill i started doing organized play. The problem being people taking time out of the game to talk battle plans.

Now one reason i have a problem with this is it is a role playing game. I like having people act in character doing what they do, and feeling the consequences of their actions. Hell when i was a player character halfling monk I had to deal with the fundamentals of my race/class conflicting and i think i did good doing that for the role play effort.

Now i know we now live in a digital age where the games like WOW and the like have ruined this aspect of the game(though wow role play servers do exsist thats off topic).

Forming battle plans outside of character, in my opinion, is metagaming.

My question is this:

How do you get the players at you're tables to recognize this and to remember to have fun at the same time?

So after reading through this a while i have a question about boons. maybe im confused as to how to apply them to a character.

Does only a character who gets the boon have a chance to use it? or can we pick the boon for another character?

I ask more specifically because I have the boon to allow me to use an axe beak on a character it does nothing for.
