Alien Life form as 2nd PC (e.g. "I need a Stentor or a Kerrn") and other problems

We’ve decided we’re not going to allow the free Vaylen-auto-detect. We’ll hash out the rest at tomorrow’s session.

It would be a lot more interesting if there’s something about the creature’s physiology that the scientist PC could discover and apply over the course of the game.

The creature is sweet tho: size of a great dane/small pony, walking on six insect legs and tentacles coming out of its face. Also becoming the hip new pet for the elite nobles of the world…
