I have a 2nd level human cavalier (gendarme archetype) that is focused on, you guessed it, mounted combat. I started this big mow-down-the-enemy-and-lance-as-you-pass son-of-a-gun before I realized that apparently PFS absolutely hates classes that have pets and has every single adventure either in a cave or a library or somewhere else that horses just plain aren't allowed.
My plan was to go four levels of cavalier to qualify for Horse Master, then take a fifth level for the bonus feat gendarme gets and an improvement on my order's ability (order of the sword, fifth level'd let me get +2 to attacking my challenges), then finish the rest of the way with fighter for bonus feats galore.
My plan also was to be incredibly mounted focused. Old-school, knight style. Got me? My feats so far: Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack, Spirited Charge.
But I can't seem to take my mount ANYWHERE in PFS. Or if I do, I go into a cave, come out, and where's my mount? Who knows, cause the exit of said cave is nowhere near the exit.
Sure would be nice if I could just plan an Ocarina and have him come running like Epona.
Alas, I don't think that's an option, so does anyone know any magic items, tactics, or other ways of skirting around the "We Hate Horses" rules that PFS has?
I am already 2nd level, or believe me, I'd consider switching to a gnome and riding a dog. Actually...I wouldn't. I hate gnomes. But a halfling, maybe. In either case, it's not an option. Plus, I don't want the reduced damage potential if it were. Just my luck, they'd put up a "We Hate Dogs" sign, and I'd be down 4 strength (I put my +2 human bonus into strength) for nothing.
