Paladin Bonded Mount?


Pathfinder Society

Silver Crusade

I plan on taking the bonded mount when I reach paladin level 5 but my question is about the mount's training. Does the mount already come "riding trained" or "combat trained"?

I have been searching forums and the rule books but I cant seem to find anything that specifies anything. I know it gets bonus tricks as in the druid animal companion table but if it is refereed to as an "unusually intelligent mount" i feel like it should at least be "riding trained".

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Your first mount arrives fully trained -- riding trained and combat trained. With an IQ of 6 you can give it almost every trick out there. Do you have animal archive?

Combat trained means that it has "attack" twice, as well as down. Here's your Union Card.

Or you can check out Flutter's original Druid's Log!

Thank you so much. I have been looking for this for days.

It has an int score of 6.

Many Dms will say that, being smarter than some of our nagaji paladins, it really doesn't need tricks.

More hardline DMs will say that it still needs them. In that case your 6 int gives you 18 tricks +2 bonus tricks.

Combat Training (DC 20) An animal trained to bear a rider into combat knows the tricks attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel.

As Hmm mentioned getting attack twice is a very good idea, because without it your friend won't attack oozes undead and a host of other nasties that you'll find a lot of in the dungeon.

If you only have the core rulebook, you're done. You have all the tricks under handle animal, and should train him for airwalk in case you ever meet a friendly druid.

If you have the animal archive

Aid
Attack .X2
Break Out
Come
Defend
Deliver
Down
Exclusive
Fetch
Flank
Get Help
Guard
Heel
Maneuver: Bullrush. Or overrun. Or both and drop something else thats not on the combat list.
Seek
Serve
Stay
Track
Work (DC 15) The animal pulls or pushes a medium or heavy load.

Add airwalk the next time you get bonus trick.

You're welcome. Flutter helped me out so much when I got started that I edited a google doc out of her discussion log. I'm the Union's secretary. Flutter is our fearless leader!
