Subject: Possible new pet idea (Tinkerable)


I've got an interesting notion on a Tinkerable Pet.

How about something that's Ogre/Troll sized, and has NO combat abilities
(cons neutral with mobs, they won't attack it). Make it a Mechanical Pet
that serves that function of "Cargo Lifting" or whatnot. So Mobs won't
attack the pet, it won't defend / fight for you. AND when you have this
Cargo Pet active, you get DOUBLE your normal weight allowance for inventory
/ carrying stuff?

That way it can't be used as a combat advantage since it won't fight/ be
fought. AND since it's using a pet slot for any normal pet classes, they
would be sacrificing a regular pet just to have this one and lug around
extra stuff. I think it balances nicely.

It would STILL disappear when you zone/LD... which would put you WAY over
weight limit next time you got back in.. unlesss you had another you could
"deploy".

Well? What do you folks think? Seems to me it's:

1.) Balanced
2.) Usefull
3.) It would look DAMN cool having a mechanical Ogre following you around =)
