(forgot to ask the question) Is my understanding correct?

Noob question - but just being thorough. Under Plant Companion it says: Except for the companion being a creature of the plant type, this ability otherwise works like the druid's animal companion. So animal companion feats in the UW would apply to the plant companion, as well as spells that specifically name "animal companion" (e.g., the Bleed for Your Master or Shield Companion spells in the Animal Archive). Meanwhile spells that specifically name animal types - like Animal Growth - would not.
Okay this exact situation happened to me. Vendor in an underdarl market (shady type market that sells slaves and poisons) has a medium-sized lock box underneath a table. PC casts invisibility, and stands in front of the vendor (there's no room to get behind her since the stalls are up against a wall and each vendor is tightly packed in). PC then summons a dolphin in the middle of the market to cause a distraction (points for originality here). The guards surround the dolphin confused, but figure out a caster's in the area. All the vendors instinctively put their hands over their merchandise and lockboxes. The PC invisible has a +20 to the sleight of hand roll -- his total is 39. There's no rules for a medium sized object (not to mention he's leaning over the stall to reach under it and pull the lockbox from underneath the vendor's hand). Vendor's perception roll was 18. I figured even with a -20 that meant he got it out from underneath her hand. But then he has to bring a medium-sized lockbox floating mid air past the nose of a vendor -- aware that something suspicious is going on -- before he can tuck it in the folds of his cloak? Yeah, she noticed that. PC got a bit upset - cos how could she notice on such a great roll. Given the circumstances, I think it was the right call. Opinions? |
