What ability do rodents have? 05/08/2017 02:00 PM CDT

Can someone please enlighten me? What benefits are there to choosing a rodent AC over a canine, feline or avian critter? Birds can send messages and canines/felines can drag you in a time of need. Rodents, near as I can tell, have no unique ability though. What am I missing?

You can pick them up and hurl them at your opponent! FUR MISSILE!

Okay, not really. I'm curious on this, too

They're more likely to hit more critical areas when attacking. All well and good except the others have good utility rodents are lacking.

As Keith said, their special attack is a slash maneuver to the head/neck/eyes, which often does critical damage. They can't drag or deliver messages, but they can nudge things. See here: http://drfuturepast.com/GSIV/GECP/

Thanks folks. Rodent-AC hates my ranger due to some abandonment issues. I was beginning to wonder if the low affinity impaired any special utility. Rodent-AC is pretty scrappy in the field though!

It would be neat if rodents could FORAGE items for us or would DIG out buried bodies upon death.

Your companions do things other than stare hungrily?

Hah. I take great delight in dropping an entire backpack of food and letting it go to town as my ranger rests. I hope to get it altered into a rotund [rodent] someday.
