Monstrous Mount and Mammoth Rider


Rules Questions


I want to have a huge-sized Worg, not for damage output or anything like that, but for flavor.

the Monstrous Mount feat:

"You can select an exotic beast from the list of monstrous mounts to serve as your animal companion or special mount. You acquire and advance this creature in the same way as the mount or animal companion detailed in the class feature used as a prerequisite for this feat."

the Mammoth Rider's Gigantic Steed feature:

"A mammoth rider's steed increases to Huge size. The creature receives a –1 penalty on attack rolls and to AC, and a –2 penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1); its base damage increases by one size category; and its reach increases to 10 feet. It also gains a +2 size bonus to its Strength and Constitution. At 3rd level and every two levels thereafter, the Strength bonus increases by an additional +2; the bonus to Constitution increases by an additional +2 at 5th and again at 9th level."

Since I may "advance this creature in the same way as the mount or animal companion detailed in the class feature used as a prerequisite for this feat", does my Worg increase to Huge size?

If you count Mammoth Rider's Steed as the class feature by which you qualify for Monstrous Mount, that should add worg to the Mammoth Rider's list of mounts and allow it to advance with all the benefits of Mammoth Rider.

If the character's base class prior to Mammoth Rider had a limited list of mounts, whether it would stack with the base class or not should have the same answer as if you chose, say, a baluchitherium as your Mammoth Rider Steed, if that's been discussed before. edit: In fact, a worg isn't an allowed animal companion for a druid or a beast rider cavalier either .. the feat may just not work all that well, without GM agreement, if you're relying on two or more classes stacking mount levels.
