      We've implemented this in a variety of ways, and have had to modify
      them due to player, grief & balance issues.
      
      1) pets:
      
      Rangers can call animals from the wild, appropriate to the
      terrain they're in. Druid's can do the same for animals or fae
      [celtic style druids]. Mages can summon up elementals [these are
      not as powerful as D&D elementals], etc.
      
      The animals can follow the person, fight with the person, and be
      used in combo attacks with the person [person has skill
      use]. The animals can be healed by the person, or sent back to
      the wild. The person is limited to only one of these at a time,
      of a type. Thus a ranger/druid can have a ranger animal, a druid
      animal and a druid faerie at the same time, bu tnot 2 ranger
      animals. Experience gained from the kill is slightly
      reduced. Having the animal die penalizes the person's exp
      directly too. Some animals have their own special attacks or
      skills. Some can be used as mounts or pack animals. Druid fae
      have some other abilities: their own spells, ability to be used
      as a mount, etc.
      
      Mage elementals automatically follow the mage and cannot be left
      around in another room. They have special attacks and abilities
      based on their element.
      
      When NPCs are attacked or attack these, they'll also attack the
      owner. They're not stupid :) I'd suggest adding that feature.
      These are labelled as to the owner: 'Rayzam's rock wolf'. That's
      to prevent anonymity in PvP. Another feature that is worth
      adding, especially to tag grief players.
      
      Don't give free reign in terms of being able to give them any
      command at all. A simple thing is don't let them use the 'score'
      command, as that puts out all the individual stats of the
      monster to straight view [but this ties into the hiding the
      numbers. We feel that minions for the most part should have
      hidden numbers and that this enhances play with them. They
      become more individual and not numbers :)]
      
      Also, prevent them from spoofing on channels.
      
      Furthermore, require the owner of the minion to be on hand. Why?
      Remote control of a minion can lead to more player grief and
      thievery. Very safe to be somewhere out of reach and have your
      minion wander through town, grabbing things that are dropped,
      steal kills or attack people. This does come from our limited
      PvP, and anti-player-conflict/thievery ideology. If you have an
      experience system, don't give experience to the owner if the
      minion kills something while the owner is elsewhere. they have
      to be around/participate in the kill. [Remember, being in the
      room, with the minion attacking an NPC means the NPC attacks
      both the player and the minion, in our system].
      
      Now for minions with alterations from these basic rules:
      
      2) Necromancer undead/hordes.
      
      The necromancer can create a variety of undead types. Each type
      [skeleton, zombie, reaper, etc], has a unique skill/spell. Each
      has different abilities, and different roles [tank, blaster,
      etc]. They are created from corpses. They are also upgradable
      with more corpses. [actually it's all based on corpse energy,
      which the necromancer stores up]. You can increase the power,
      abilities, skills, spells of the undead. These save of
      course. You can name the undead. corpse energy from magical
      flight creatures can be used to give an undead flight ability.
      
      The necromancer can control a horde, instead of getting just a
      single minion. The necromancer can control these remotely. The
      undead/horde engaging an NPC in combat does not initiate combat
      with the necromancer. Why the difference? The necromancer is
      maintaining complete control over the undead. Everything they
      do, including walking from one room to another is done under the
      supervision of the necromancer. It costs spell points. The
      undead decay, and need to be patched. The more they do, the more
      decay, the more patching. ON the other side, due to this
      control, the necromancer does not need to be reachable to
      perform these actions.
      
      Issues here:
      
      When you allow a necromancer to name an undead, beware
      spoofing a player name, especially if you log by names. Thus
      make the name <name given> the <undeadtype>. Boffo the
      Skeleton.
      
      Beware power. A horde of undead can be powerful. Thus each
      individual undead needs to be low powered. Balance it as a
      group. Limit the horde size by the power level. So a lot of
      low powered skeletons can be 1 horde, or a few high powered
      reapers. Do allow for mix/matching of undead types of course.
      
      Decay/upkeep: any system that allows for increases like this,
      should have a requisite drain. Having decay be based on a
      per-command level, on undead 'death' [and reanimation], on
      storing and restoring the undead, means that there is a drain,
      and thus it isn't just a matter of time until every
      necromancer has a maxxed out horde. Thus a necromancer tends
      to level out at their own personal playing ability, in terms
      of horde.
      
      Problems we ran into:
      
      again, limit the commands that can be given. Frankly, this
      should be filtered, and you should only allow specific
      commands, instead of trying to disallow ones as they come
      up. It's always easier to add a command after it's been
      requested, and after reviewing the idea, than trying to plug
      all the holes in a leaky boat :)
      
      The undead had the ability to block an exit. Got
      removed. Really cheap and easy undead could make towns
      impossible for new characters. Grief galore.
      
      This undead/horde system could be used for any upgradable minion,
      regardless of theme. The necromancer could as easily be a
      beastmaster with a series of animals and have them be upgradable.
      
      3) mounts and pack animals:
      
      Mounts can carry riders, based on size/weight issues. Combat
      riding is different from regular riding. Mounted combat is
      different than regular combat. Affects overland travel. Other
      effects in terms of resting. Pack animals: can carry more, but
      can't be 'ridden'. Nice way to carry stuff :)
      
      Neither can engage in combat for the person.. pack animals are
      led by the player. Mounts can be led if not being
      ridden. Led/ridden animals have a [ridden by Boffo]/[led by
      Boffo] tag on them. 'Ware being invisible but leaving your
      mount/pack animal visible.. it looks silly :) These are bought
      by the player, and can be housed in stables. They also require
      feeding :) Some have flight, some are water breathers or water
      dwellers. Nothing to terribly beware here, since they don't
      accept commands more than being mounted/led [except for the few
      combat mounts with the paladin using the 'charge' skill and a
      lance, etc].
      
      4) Alchemist castle golems:
      
      These are created by taking armor pieces with their abilities,
      and welding them into a humanoid shape [need the right pieces
      covering the right areas], then animating it with a player
      corpse's brain. The attributes of the armor determine the
      attributes and abilities of the animated golem. They can only
      exist within a player castle, to defend it from invaders. They
      can block exits or attack intruders, allowing those the castle
      owner/landlord/tenants list as friends. The player corpse's
      brain has the ability to be programmed :) Thus the owner can set
      up specific skill/spell use by the golem in combat situations.
      The number of these preprogrammed attacks is dependent on the
      quality of the brain, which is dependent on the 'level' of the
      player it was taken from.
      
      Caveats:
      
      in the system as listed here, there aren't many. It's already
      well restricted, in terms of the power and abilities.
      Benefits: Lots of choices in how to make one. Alchemists would
      make and name specific models :) Equipment drain :) [salvaging
      a golem that has been killed by castle intruders inevitably
      results in the loss of some of the pieces it was made from].
      Persistent regardless of castle owner being online.
      
      This system could be used for minions like the undead horde or
      animals. However, these castle golems currently give no
      experience for any kill they make, and are defenders of the
      castle. This is due to a balance issue, where they can be more
      powerful than the other minions. They're used for defending
      against other NPCs, especially offline defense, as a castle and
      stored equipment persists and is at risk even when the castle
      owner is offline. Thus, give them more power than we'd give if
      a player used them to kill NPCs for equipment or experience. And
      that's also why they're limited to an existance within castle
      walls. Using it as the other minions are used would require
      scaling down the power, which is doable. It's just a tweak of
      the algorithms that convert the armor attributes to the golem's
      abilities.
      
      
      5) the start of armies.
      
      These are mobs of NPCs which can be used to fight other mobs of
      NPCs. Individuals attacking them do very little [that magic
      missile only hits one of the soldiers out of a thousand!]. The
      mob can spawn off individuals to face individuals that do attack
      them. So individuals can pick away at a mob. These aren't fully
      implemented yet [neither are ballistae and catapults for the
      castles :)]. Some spells work on mobs [like stronger area effect
      spells, morale spells, etc].
      
      Hope this helps.
