1: no, No, NO! you're not allowed to 'find' things. if you want a pet that isn't in the petshop, you suggest it, like you and anime used to do with the weapons shop back on the ezboard! i'd be glad to put whatever you want onto the petshop pricing list for you...
the shots thing
could work... assuming that the petshop owner does them, for money. they'd have to be pretty expensive shots too, i hasten to add...
2: i don't get ya. first you say you want a max of 10/10, then you say that a max of 10/10 would be lame...
make up your mind!
hey, how about if we said that your AP could only be half as high as your HP? that'd solve your problem, without restricting the game...
