I did a proposal around the idea of "Golem Controllers" and an expanded set of craftable machines.. golems, exodus overseers & exodus minions. They were crafted using their base components plus a weapon (mace for golem, kryss for overseer, axe for minion), and had secondary combat skills (parry, poison, and lumberjacking respectively). Sadly the old forum ate it and I didn't keep a local copy. I might write that one up again some time.
Greater dragons already can have skill caps over 120, so they wouldn't benefit from being able to consume PS to increase their skill cap to 120. Well I guess a GD could have 120 in anat or something.
But maybe that makes the point better than what I tried to say before my third coffee... Greaters have high skills already, so if a tamer wants a high skill pet, it's there. I think if an 85 skill tamer could scroll up 2 kitsune to the max, they'd be a very strong trainee tamer heh. 
I know this isnt what the thread is about, but are the frenzied ostards really an asset, ive heard some people really like themA pack of 5 frenzied ostards with elder skills.. urk!
If this were a poll, I'd be voting no to this idea. I think the pets we have today are fine as is. We've got a couple now that can go over GM in several skills and I suspect we'll probably get a few more like them in the future. Plus, there are already enough people who complain about tamers and their overpowered pets. Don't need to give them any more changes to be unhappy about and an additional excuse to consider quitting UO.
They're fun & effective. They have two major drawbacks: defence and stable slots. Peacemaking or Discordance, and quick vetting are very helpful. As for stable slots, you're going to need 5 of them for one pack. It's a bit of a squeeze with no way around it unless they review stable slots.I know this isnt what the thread is about, but are the frenzied ostards really an asset, ive heard some people really like themA pack of 5 frenzied ostards with elder skills.. urk!
