Okay, guys, as the story goes, I had wanted to roll up a "confused" gnome for PFS. The little fella thought he was destined to become a dragon rider, but he was more akin to Don Quixote than Hiccup (or whatever actual dragon riding character you care to slot in). He runs around with a peacock *swearing* its a dragon and assuring everyone that when it grows up, he'll get to ride it around. Obviously, no one believes him... until it grows up and he flies around on it.
Mechanically, I had wanted to run this fellow as a Bloodrager, using the options for bloodline familiar option. I'd grab a Brawler familiar of a Peacock and use Improved Familiar to eventually get a Brawler Faerie Dragon and this lil guys' dreams would come true. Of course... that doesn't work. Improved Familiars don't get to speak to animals of their own kind and so they don't get the Brawler archtype. Bummer.
So now I'd like to resurrect this bizarre gnome idea. I have thought of using the (new) Summoner to build him. Likely take a Protean Eidolon with the Serpentine base, add a pair of legs, flight, breath weapon (maybe), mount, go.
But does anyone have a better way to make this happen? Or something more fun?
Also, any tips and tricks on flying mounts would be helpful. I am planning on going ye olde lance route, but it's not something I have built before.
Thanks, all!
