| Totally awesome. The magic rabbit is a great improved familiar (though perhaps a bit strong at level 5).
Really great article. |
- Actually, you need to up the CR for the magic rabbit. Getting 2nd level spells means that they can use Scorching Ray, Glitterdust, or Blindness/Deafness. --Aarnott (talk) 21:56, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
Lagomorph
Rabbits, even magical ones, are not rodents. They're lagomorphs, a much cooler word. You're now remembering that one spell/status in FF6 called Lagomorph that had a rabbit show up. --Ganteka Future (talk) 17:09, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- Lagomorphs are direct siblings of rodents. The distinction in common vernacular isn't really useful. --Aarnott (talk) 17:31, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'm... gonna be a stickler on this one. I was kinda weirded out by that response, Aarnott, to be honest. I understand that it's easier (calling rabbits as rodents) so I get the "just call 'em rodents, whatever" argument, it's just inaccurate. I think it's a disservice to readers. There's also not a word to describe these small-furbearing critters that's both succinct, common and general enough while being truthful (to preserve the sentence's structure in providing a generalization in the description of the creature in the article). To me, calling rabbits as rodents is like calling goats as deer, for lack of a better comparison, being a large and broad group like deer with a smaller one like goats. While I'm not going to press the issue because it isn't a big deal, I still think it should be changed. --Ganteka Future (talk) 18:23, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
