any way to get a survivable mount for a dragoon fighter?


Advice

Silver Crusade

pretty much as title says, anyway to get a mount that won't crumple from one hit from a mook at level 10+?

Nature soul+animal ally+boon companion?

That gives you a full scaling animal companion (similar to a ranger in mechanics). Get a horse/large wolf, and have fun with it.

You could also theoretically get the undersized mount feat, and grab a mauler archetype familiar through the eldritch guardian archetype.

Would the above plus Totem Beast + Spirit's Gift work? I haven't been completely sure if having an animal companion through Animal Ally was the same as having the animal companion class feature or not...


You count as having the class feature I think (even if you have it through a feat), so those should work. You are looking at a lot of feats tho.


Non-PFS, you can always use Leadership.

Ride the party druid/animal companion/eidolon, call any of them your mount.

Druid: "I shapeshift into a large panther!"

GM: "ok"
Dragoon: " I MOUNT THE DRUID!"
GM: "ok- wait WHAT?!"

Eh, "Non-PFS, you can always try to convince your GM to let you use Leadership."

It is even more fun when the druid is your significant other, either in character or out.

Dragoon: "I MOUNT THE DRUID"
Druid: "Damnit, Steve, this isn't the time or the place, we're in the middle of a fight, and I'm really not in the mood anyway."

Player: "I'd like to use Leadership to get a mount."

GM: "Wait, not as an item factory? Not as a second combatant with nearly as much gear and ability as a player? I'm listening..."

Then you ask for a unicorn or something and advance it with class levels. When Ultimate Combat came out, I heard that a lot of players were picking up levels of Master of Many Styles monk to give their mounts the Crane Style defenses.

Simple fact here is that a mount doesn't significantly impact combat like a cohort cleric.

Hey, I saw a druid turn into a quetzalcoaltalus, cast ant haul, and the entire party jumped on his back and flew off into the sunset.

This is what my GM said...lol...exactly.
