Stingray in the Box: Can be done in PFS??


Pathfinder Society


Hi all,
I was wondering:

According to PFS rules, a character can have only an active pet, a mount or a (inactive) familiar...

...but what about stuffing a large aquatic cage with 5 sting rays into the largest bag of holding and having a mule carry it?

The water could be changed with a Decanter of Endless Water, leaving only the food issue...

...but this would be a way to milk up to 10 doses of "nice" poison (Dex & Con) from these stingrays...

Do you think would be possible?

Thanks,
Skarm

P.S.: There is some other smaller, purchaseable and maybe terrestrial animal that could be bought and carried around for this purpose?

P.P.S.: The animal wouldn't be really "active" or "passive"...would just be a portable poison making source!! XDD

I am not sure if there is any legal option to "milk" poison.. but I would usually expect player having to set their active pet at the start of the scenario.

Having a portable source of "free" poison.. I would not expect this to work long term.

I am unfamiliar with rules for "milking" poison. What book are they from?

The harvesting poison subsystem is legal for play, but a PC cannot use this subsystem to preserve poisons or create antivenom; all harvested poisons lose their potency by the end of the adventure.

I don't know how those rules work, since I don't yet own that source, but I would (tentatively) say that since you are gaining a mechanical benefit from a creature, that creature would have to be your one "designated" creature for the Adventure (much like you'd be choosing either your Familiar or your Animal Companion).

Although I admit that gets kind of head-scratchy.

You can bring along a herd of goats, for example, but until now there wasn't a subsystem for milking them and gaining a useful item. They just existed in the background.

So I suppose a school of stingrays is doable. I'd probably rule you could only milk one, though.
