I was hoping to find an official ruling on this as well. well at least I can contribute to the discussion.

My take on it: vermin companions get vermin traits, plant companions should get plant traits. Plant traits are a bit powerful, but really so is having a spinosaurus. Plus, plants are vulnerable to a number of effects that animal/vermin companions wouldn't be (e.g. blight, horrid wilting, aura of decay, The Dumbshow of Gorroc).

The Pixel Dungeon Kickstarter campaign is now in its final day!

The $1,500 goal has been met, which has the following effects.
-The Kickstarter exclusive Skeletal Horse Wizard will not be included for all backer levels.
-Sinister Swamps: Creature Pack can now be added to any reward level.
-The Zombies! reward has been upgraded to 6 zombies, still for the low price of an additional $1.

So if you haven't checked it out, do so (link above) and if you checked it out awhile ago, see the recent updates with previews of exciting fancy miniatures.

Additionally, you can follow Octopus Apocalypse on Tumblr.

Update: $1000 goal has been reached. Pack of 5 zombies is now available for a $1 pledge increase, or a new $2 pledge.

So a character with the bloatmage initiate feat should incur no additional penalties for carrying a medium load?

I've got a player who wants to go bloatmage and I'm finding something a little unclear in the boatmage initiate feat.
The description says the character is constantly under the effects of a medium load, so does that mean their carrying capacity starts at a medium load?
for example: would a character with strength 10 be basically carrying 34 pounds of extra flesh and then add any additional weight onto that?
