Why does this happen?

A thick-maned lion is DEAD!!
A thick-maned lion's foot is skillfully severed from his leg.
One of your members has left the party.

You have to buy the pet before you charm something. The storekeeper will think you have a pet because you already charmed something.

My bad. I guess this is a "feature".

I don't know whether the IMMs would consider this a feature or a bug, but that's definitely the way things have been. I think it's a restriction of the code, and not an intended feature of it. You can't buy a pet if you are holding charm.

If you charmed someone without a pet wit you at the time, it is considered your "pet" and that's why you can't buy a pet. If you had bought a pet, charmed someone, and the your pet died you could have bought another: this is same mechanic that keeps warlocks from buying pets too.


Interestingly enough, if you charm someone without a pet, the when you use a recall potion, the charm comes with you.

It's not a bug that it currently behaves that way. However, it's interesting that the topic has come up, because I'm preparing to put in an update to the pet system that will cause this problem to not happen any longer.

Hopefully storebought pets no longer have massive hps.

Become friends with a paladin. Sit behind them!

Wait, you don't even use a pet to begin with. Why are you complaining?

I do use a pet. But every time I group up you're like, "OMG, LEAVE YOUR PET AT THE INN." :roll:

So half the time I forget and log without it.
