Figurine of Wonderous Power and Training

[Preston Poulter]

My Cavalier has problems bringing his horse into some dungeons. It got me thinking about mount replacements when in these circumstances. Can I get a Figurine of Wonderous Power for a bronze griffon and train it. The description of the item says I get 12 hours of use per week and that it acts as a normal griffon. Is it the same griffon each time? Does it retain memories from last time? Can it therefore be trained and outfitted with a saddle?

[Bob_Loblaw]

This is a question for your GM but I would allow it. It makes sense and fits the theme of the item. In Forgotten Realms, there is a very famous drow that has a figurine of wondrous power that retains its memories.

Would I still use Ride and Rideby Attack, or would I switch to Fly and Fly-By Attack?

[Fedorarogue]

For that I would think you would depend if you were flying on the griffon or if you were riding it like a horse. Since that is the difference between those two feat lines really, flying vs running.
