[@Brithwyr]Yes.

[@Synthesis] I hadn't really thought much of the animals, but that doesn't sound so bad. Though, for you to build the type of character you want, type of dog and all, there is one thing. For a character to really hone skills of that set and have a well trained animal for the dog, they'd have to play a guard/soldier type character, OR, they have to be an outsider. Either one is fine, but I was just thinking you wouldn't really be able to pull something like that off spending all your time inside the walls, you catch my drift? Just a suggestion.
