    Geoff, the Baron Imp looks amazing. Thank you!

    This was one of the reasons I pledged to the Baron level, I like having unique and cool things like this in the game. I was surprised how good it came out. I like the fist pounding animation, and the flying was another unexpected touch. I'm not sure if you did all the work or if you passed it on to someone else to animate, but regardless well done!

    Many of the pledge tier items are just kind of nice to have things that I may use for bartering (due mostly to my character backstory), but this Imp will remain in my collection until the game closes. :)

    I'm sure you guys don't have tons of time to put into additional development of the IMP, but I'm going to make a pitch anyway. :)

    1. It would be great if the IMP had one additional idle animation. I'd really like to see him pace about. He just looks like he'd get impatient and not want to stand still. I can see him folding his arms behind his back and just walking back and forth around his (or her) owner.

    2. This goes to a "functionality" request so probably not your department Geoff. But I was thinking how cool it would be if pets could collect loot for us. Like if we could command them to "collect gold only" or "collect resources only". Something like that. So they would try to say out of the way during combat and not get killed, then go loot corpses for us.

    3. I'd like the ability to upgrade this pet so that they would actually be helpful during combat. Maybe even make this my familiar using a ritual magic spell.

    4. As with all pets, I'm sure a lot of owners would like the ability to make them occupy part of their homes. So maybe I could by a perch for this little guy to hang out on (until I call him) and that way he feels more permanent and less artificial to me.

    That is all, keep up the great work!

    It's a lot bigger than I expected.

    Yes, but he comes back to life the moment I call him again.

    He makes for a very good distraction in combat. :)

    "Imp, attack that mob of skeletons!"

    Cast stealth and run...

    IMP ABUSE!

    I'm waiting for some summoned animal rights group to form in SotA.. they can run around killing people who abuse their summons. :)

    Very cool. if he can't do physical damage during combat at least make him throw non damaging things or put a cheerleader animation in. Maybe he could carry a 6 slot bag?

    Yeah I love seeing this guy fly, easily my favourite. Really hoping we can have the pets/servants in our house(s) to bring them to life :)
