As much as it saddens me, I'm glad to see their giving people a reason to have higher Chiv skill. I, however, thought that each main skill type should have an associated 2 or 3 slot pet that has special abilities. For example, 100 Chiv gives you the ability to RIDE a silver steed (oldschool, I know) and 120 Chiv gives you the ability to also control it (beyond the basic "all follow" you could do at GM). Necros would get Nightmares. Mystics would get unicorns, etc etc etc. Would make for much more interesting combat!
