Large Nature Oracle, Bonded Mount Revelation...


Rules Questions


Bonded Mount (Su): You gain the service of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal mount. The creature must be one that you are capable of riding and is suitable as a mount. A Medium oracle can select a camel or a horse. A Small oracle can select a pony or wolf, but can also select a boar or a dog if she is at least 4th level. This mount functions as a druid’s animal companion, using your oracle level as your effective druid level. Bonded mounts have an Intelligence score of at least 6.

So if I am a large race, what are the RAW available options?

Assuming it grants me a Huge mount, how would that interact later on in the character's career, if the Mammoth Rider PrC were taken?

Because there are no core large races its not really a rules question, at this stage you have moved into the realm of homebrew at which time it becomes the GM's job to decide what is a valid mount for you.

What Caderyn said, but I'll add that you and your GM should concentrate on "The creature must be one that you are capable of riding and is suitable as a mount."

Some GMs don't treat the listed mounts as a restrictive list, but rather an illustrative one. I don't want to get into a debate over which is right, and really don't care, but discuss it with your GM and if the two of you can agree on a mount, I'd say you're golden.


Actually, the rules allow for large races via the Advanced Race Guide and Race Builder. Those are specifically rules...

Aside from that, I cannot find the rules/guidelines on size of mount vs. size of rider. I have heard that a mount must be a size category larger. I have also heard some mounts can be the same size as the rider. This would be applicable regardless of the race's natural size.
