Dragonrider Class

[ForlinA]

I am creating a Dragonrider character (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/super-genius-games/drago nrider#dragon-steeds) and am wondering how to calculate the hit points of my steed. My character is first level and has a copper dragon as a mount. The system reference document above tells us the dragon should have 2 HD, but no further information.

Thanks for your help,

The dragon would have 2d12 hit dice, and it's HP would be determined the same as a characters would.

Thanks, Azten. How did you know it is a d12? Is that standard for dragons, or is there a specific source you used?

HD: This is the total number of twelve-sided (d12) Hit Dice the dragon steed possesses, each of which gains a Constitution modifier, as normal.

It's on the page. :)

Yep, I'm an idiot. Thanks so much.

As azten said however a d12 is also standard for dragons so you were right in guessing that. dragons are the only creatures that get full bab, a d12 hit die and 3 good saves(i think) which makes them pretty bad ass

Here are the rules for creature types that Lady-J (and obliquely by Azten) refer to, just in case you come across something that gives you a type but doesn't tell you what the HD, BaB and saves are for your critter.
