Talk:Familiar abilities
This table the wonderous creation of NewZorkBat! Congratulate him! --R3nh03k 15:13, 17 February 2006 (Central Standard Time)
- ^ "Congratulate her", please ;)
Thanks for the congrats. I've been thinking it'd probably be handy if the table also showed the relative intensity or quality of the familiars' abilities, if that's possible. Maybe only like "--", "-", "o", "+", "++"; I think it makes sense at least for damage type familiars. I don't have enough experience with different familiars though to fill in that kind of information. But I'd be happy if someone did. If it can be done. --NewZorkBat 09:35, 21 February 2006 (Central Standard Time)
Yeah, nice work. However, there seems to be too much white. --Rai 05:05, 17 March 2006 (CST)

...If hte hobo Mimics a starfish when given booze, shouldn't it also damage foes?--Rikmach 15:54, 2 May 2006 (CDT)
Just for fun...
Instead of the X when the familiar has the skill, why not a smiley face like this:☺? Eh, maybe not. Looks stupid.--Someone Else 07:01, 23 May 2006 (CDT)
Confusion
I think there's some confusion between the difference of "Makes monsters drop meat" and "Gives you meat during battle". We should seperate those two, right?--Someone Else 05:56, 28 May 2006 (CDT)
That would be a good idea... if only I was able to not screw up things in wikis.--Kewangji 09:12, 8 February 2007 (CST)
A Few Changes
So I went through and modified the familiar table in the following ways (I hope this was okay!):
- The Whirling Maple Leaf's HP restoration wasn't mentioned, so I added it.
- I updated the Personal Raincloud to look a little bit more like the Killer Bee (since it only gives to one substat at a time, like the Bee - only the Bee only ever chooses muscle)
- I gave the Toothsome Rock the same "special ability" message as the Pet Rock.
- I noted that the Scary Death Orb only does spooky damage to your opponent, not to yourself (at least, as of my last experience with it)
- I added the damage type for the Grue and Feather Boa Constrictor, as they was missing (and all the other familiars that do elemental damage had theirs mentioned; barring the Penguin, which is too complex to mention in a little box)
- I normalized the Howling Balloon Monkey's messages - only one mentioned "after 10 weight"
- I changed the Spirit Hobo's description to look more like the Star Starfish it is imitating.
- Finally, I updated the NPZR, Cocoabo, Feather Boa Constrictor, Fuzzy Dice, and Hannukimbo Dreidl to explain that their "increase meat drops" ability is more a "steals meat" ability.

When the abilities trigger should probably be put in there. Damages enemy and increased items drops might be obvious but things like HP/MP restore aren't obvious when they trigger from the thingie. Brion thenotgiant
Relevance?
So...is this page worth keeping around? It's got a few more familiars to be thrown into it, and it's already a huge ugly mass as is. If we're going to keep it, should we split it up into a couple of pages? Or can anyone think of a more productive formatting? Compare to Familiars by type. --Flargen 10:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
