Companion 2 offers a selection of Animal Companions for 4 points each.

Dipping into GURPS for the mechanics, I assume this is simply Ally (25%, Constantly), which works out to 1 pt. x 4 = 4 pts.

My question is simply: Does that sound right?

Side observation: It would appear that the designs aren't fixed on meeting an exact 62-point character point cost (from 25% of DFRPG's 250-pt. default).

For the cat, for example, I figure:

[5] for basic stats (ST 4; DX 14; IQ 5; HT 10; Will 11; Per 12; Basic Speed 6.00; Basic Move 10)
[41] for advantages (Catfall; Combat Reflexes; Flexibility; Night Vision 5; Sharp Claws; Sharp Teeth)
[-35] for disadvantage (Quadruped)
[7] for skills (Brawling-16; Jumping-14; Stealth-14)
[16] for extra skills

That's only [34] total, so it's an underpowered ally for the cost to the PC - though I still like all the animal builds and Animal Companion just fine!

(But if I seem to be terribly miscalculating the cat's cost, let me know.)
