Hello. This is basically a revamp of my old idea of "The Constructor Series" from a while back. I know what most of you skeptics are thinking, that there's another idiot rambling about pets, and that pets will never happen in SK. Hear me out, and i promise you, there WILL BE pets in SK. I believe solely that they will be along the lines of this, so read carefully before you comment.
The Constructor Series:
Here's a basic breakdown of how this works. The person with the pet will have a summoning platform that the person can use to summon a pet, sort of like a familiar, to fight by that person's side. Note that this summoning platform can only summon up to ONE pet, so it cannot be abused. This summoning platform is charged, similar to the use of a bomb. It also debuffs the user with a movement penalty while charging, so be careful when you activate it. Once it's activated, you release it to unleash your pet to fight enemies.
Things to consider:
1) When you have a pet already summoned, if you use the same summoning platform again, it will simply destroy the pet (probably shouldn't say destroy) and respawn a new one with full health.
2) Also, pets CANNOT pass through barriers unlike knights can, so they must be summoned again outside the barrier if you want them.
3) Specific armor sets are also to be implemented to give these pets charge time reduction for the summoning platform, damage bonuses, and bonus health.
Feel free to comment about this idea.
Interesting idea. Instead of destroy I'd say "dismiss," by the way.
