Creatures Eligible to Use "War Saddle" Magic Item


Rules Questions


Knights of the Inner Sea (p. 31) has a magic item called the War Saddle (description below). Is a large constrictor snake "appropriate shape to wear a saddle"? I believe that the First Mother's Fang cavalier archetype (Blood of the Beast pp. 17-18) can ride snakes which makes me think snakes could be mounted.

War Saddle:

Any creature of the animal or magical beast type of an appropriate shape to wear a saddle (creatures with unusual anatomies may be affected with GM discretion) can wear the war saddle, which magically changes size and shape as necessary. The saddle allows the creature wearing it to act as if it were combat trained (see the Handle Animal description on page 97 of the Core Rulebook for more information on combat training), and gives the rider a +5 competence bonus on Ride checks made while mounted upon the creature.


Item slots for animal types can be found here. If a creature has a belt slot and can be ridden it should be able to have a saddle (basically all but Quadruped (squat-body) turtles and toads).
