Default *nods* Gorilla servant vs strength of a gorilla
I thought we might need a bit of a cool down from the other thread. In any case, which would you prefer?

1. A gorilla who will obey your commands (you gain expert knowledge of sign language, as does the gorilla)
2. Strength of a gorilla

Note that in #1 the gorilla will follow your commands to the best of its understanding. It is not an extension of your will. also, the gorilla needs no food, water, nor rest.

No contest. Strength of a gorilla. Far handier than having a gorilla following me around.

A gorilla following me around would just be... weird. No way I'm keeping that thing in my place.

What if the gorilla had perfectly groomed fur and a suit?

Just to check, do we only get the super strength, or the sometimes implied Speed/Dur Bonus?

Strength.

Unless the gorilla could talk and had an English accent.

That makes it a done deal. If it could make mixed drinks and give me a shave with a straight razor it'd be just about perfect.

I'll go with strength. I live in an apartment condo - a gorilla would probably violate the terms. Plus I already know sign language, so that's no benefit. :)

Could you legally get away with it though? There's got to be some sort of statutes regarding keeping wild animals (even one smart enough to be butler). Then you have the PETA people accusing you of mistreatment.

I'll take the strength and avoid the hassles.

But always groomed fur and suit! Think of how dapper you would appear!

Let's say these factors aren't such a concern, or that the gorilla butler has created a youtube video stating his consent.

No, I'm cool. The apartment would be seriously cramped. :)
