Hunting Hounds

A dog that has trainable tracking skill... need I say more?

Track anything from small game for feather's or hides to whatever monster can spawn in the forest's / on land. *Wouldn't be very useful in dungeons as dogs would die a lot lol*

Click dog -> select tracking -> dogs tracking options open's -> select your prey (depending on skill) -> Let dog lead the way to the prey assuming any selected prey is within the dog tracking radius. Also have the dog run at mounted speed if your mounted.

If anything it would be most useful to young players for hunting and tailors for gathering hides. And honestly having a trusty useful hound at your side.... who wouldn't want that?!?

I don't know if its even possible and I know tracking already exists but this is a little more fun than regular old tracking

Or a related idea, how about a hunting dog that can use Tracking for you? Except he could only see on your current screen, whereas people with GM tracking can now (due to recent update) track up to 80 tiles away. This would be a cool way to add something new to the game (dono/gold sink vendor) that gave some limited tracking, while allowing extra bonuses for those who really went in-depth and took the skill to GM on their character

Glad you like the idea eppy. I was thinking dogs, wolves, and hell hounds. Dogs would have no taming skill required but wolves and hell hounds would need a certain amount of taming to control and would also be a little more durable.

I like the idea of a bonus if both the hound and the player have high tracking skill for sure edw3rdwood. I dunno about the hound only being able to track what is on your screen though. That would kind of defeat the purpose as you wouldn't need the dog to track if you could already see what you want to track.
