Rocky The Super Dog

I love superpets. They are goofy and don't make sense, but that doesn't stop me from adoring them. I wanted to make one for use in the Carbide City game I'm planning. This super sidekick was created using the 5e sidekick rules. I started with Mastiff stats from D&D Beyond and gave it the Doggo homebrew sidekick class (and armor). I made it level 12, because standard Evo characters in Carbide City at the equivalent to level 12 characters.

I haven't come up with a backstory yet, but he is a hound that has been genetically enhanced. He has increased intelligence and is able to hold and use objects with his mouth. His suit includes a set of lockpicks he has rudimentary use of.
