You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Good idea, she'll never find you now.

Except for that funky glowing spine, of course.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

In MyBrute news - there's a tendency to list the pets - dog, wolf, bear - as good, better, best. I actually think that given the right circumstances the wolf is far better than the bear. Check this out from today's matches - [link]
Dude, you are SOOoo lucky that bear didn't attack more. When they are both in full attack, they do about the same damage, only the wolf gets several small attacks, and the bear one big one. The wolf is pretty good at dodging, the bear, nsm. The bear has a TON of hit points, about 2-3x the wolf. That is the big advantage.

Yeah, I know that, but the bear is slow and I assume the speed of your pet's attacks are dependent on the agility of your opponent. Also, the bear did try to attack more but the Brute countered him.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I can help a little on the skill check.

Maybe the Raiders knocked out Apollo's comm system?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

More like I didn't have a chance to check b.org before work this morning. Didn't realize everyone was waiting on me. I play 1 card. Insent, BT.
