First of all it's a troll, and second it's a man -- "Mr. Dent" usually
refers to a man, anyway... The artwork on page 15 of Missing Blood may
have put some on the wrong foot, but I thought our culture was a bit
beyond the "long hair = woman" stage :)

Well, I haven't used this character yet, but since no one from
my group is on this list...
An ex-cop mage, who's K-9 partner is a hellhound. According
to the book they can be trained, and they are dual, so it makes
sense for a cop who can go astral to have a dog that go astral.

Like I said, it's been 5-6 years since I've run that adventure... my
memory was just a little foggy on that point. It's not like the Cat
Troll was the most memorable event when I ran my group through that
adventure. :)

Hellhounds can't go Astral, consider them constantly astrally percieving
without the target number penalty. If they want to attack someone
astrally, they have to physically go over to where they are ... that
means you can (astrally) escape a Hellhound by passing through a (sturdy)
wall.
