Hi, I'm a GM in the middle of Jade Regent, adventure 4. I have this player who have been an ordinary barbarian for eleven levels. Now he suddenly got this revelation that he should be a mammoth rider, and based on that he has a plan.
At the next level he begins to spec cavalier for six levels, and after that mammoth rider for as long as possible. During that time he thinks that he will spec intelligence as an ability score so that he can get enough ranks for the prestige class. Now while it's possible, I wonder if it's such a great idea. So I simply ask you for advice for my little player.
Here's the other PCs in the group:
Wellme: 11 Cleric of Sarenrae (Healing, Fire)
Mokrok: 5 Sorcerer (Draconic), 6 Dragon Disciple
Forin: 11 Monk
Antal: 11 Rogue (Planning to spec Assassin later on )
He'll never get to Mammoth Rider.
Barbarian 11 + Cavalier 6 = 17 levels
18th level would be his first level of Mammoth Rider.
The adventure path will be long done by that point.
I would have him do one of the following, in my order of preference:
a) As a kindly GM, you let him respec into Mammoth Rider.
b) Take the Leadership feat and, as a kindly GM, let him take a big ol' mount that makes him happy.
c) Tell him to forget it, he's too late.
d) Tell him to build a new character if he wants to be a Mammoth Rider.
