Alright, so I'm joining in a campaign at 5th level and I'm going Beast Rider. I'm looking at the mount choices for my human and here it is..
Medium beast riders can choose a camel or horse mount at 1st level. At 4th level, a Medium beast rider can also choose an allosaurus, ankylosaurus, arsinoitherium, aurochs, bison, brachiosaurus, elephant, glyptodon, hippopotamus, lion, mastodon, megaloceros, snapping turtle (giant), tiger, triceratops, or tyrannosaurus as his mount. Additional mounts might be available with GM approval.
Now, from what I am reading a level 4 beast rider can get the Lion as a mount. To any of you who say otherwise, I'm not posting this here for you to debunk it. It says that. Right there. There is no fricking way to misread it. A level 4 Beast Rider can get a Lion as a mount. He does not need to wait until level 7. It is on the list for a MEDIUM SIZED cavalier at LEVEL 4.
What I'm looking for is an official answer for my GM who doesn't like gray area's and the stat change that is done to the creature until level 7.
I don't know how you can get much more official than what is written in the book... unless he is looking for confirmation that what is written is not in error.
Let me rephrase that last bit. He wants the official word on the stat conversion for the mount. Does it get the +2 -2 +2 thing at 4th and then the upgrade to a Large mount's bonus at 7 to replace it? Does it get the 7th level upgrade at 4th? Does it get both and stack?
It is still a medium sized lion until level 7. The feature does not change when it upgrades. There are a few posts about it but designers said yes you can get them but you cannot ride them until they turn large.
Hmm... well, works out in the end for me. Mounts aren't always the best way to go for this guys game so I was hoping for something more versatile. Worst comes to worse my cavalier walks in with a horse he bought and trained, regular, and a lion Animal companion.
Thank you for the word. I hate to ask for more, but do you have a link? It's for his benefit, not mine.
