Silver Crusade

This is a question for a character in PFS.

After my last adventure, it became clear that Torin should devise the means to cure his mount of the fatigued condition when it crops up. The character is built on the ability to dole out maximum damage with a lance from atop his trusty steed, so no charging = bad times.

This led me to start looking for ways to deal with the condition when it crops up. I've always subscribed to the "ounce of prevention > than pound of cure" school of thought, so I intend to take Indomitable Mount when it comes online. I've already given my mount Great Fortitude as well.

However, I still have 4 levels before I can get Indomitable mount. In the meantime, I have to be able to fix this issue when it comes up. This led me Rager's Aid.

Is there any reason I can't have my mount chew on this stuff before we begin combat if/when he's fatigued?

I realize it's an imperfect solution, but it would hopefully mitigate the risk of my mount becoming fatigued for the rest of the adventure. Can't always count on having a divine caster in the group, let alone one who has prepared lesser restoration and is willing to spend it on my mount.


Personally I would probably rule that you would have to make a handle animal check to get it to chew the stuff, but that's generally not a huge issue for a Cavalier. I would suggest taking a few levels of Paladin to get the ability to remove fatigue yourself, but that seems kind of excessive.

That seems reasonable to me.

I don't think I'll be multi-classing this character, but a 2-level Paladin dip is definitely one of the best options if you're going to do it.
