So I'm about to jump back in with a group I haven't played with for a while. GM thought it might be cool if I roll up a native Triaxian race that will encounter the party and join them. 10th level start
Not the the GM is likely to give me a dragon to ride but I was interested in trying a mounted combat character that would fit the setting.
So would appreciate any advice you have on mounted classes/multiclass (Hunter, Cav and Paly are obvious choices), feats etc.
But also in particular things that would make sense for the setting so ideally using local creatures instead of importing.
I came across an Ice Runner (Axe Beak) that might be adapted to a mount but would like to hear your ideas on others. (Any local magical beasts i might grab with monsterous companion feat ?)
Finally as I haven't done a lot with mounts before, so where should my focus be ? trying to make the mount as amazing as possible or making it functionally survivable and optimizing my character to do the business ? or a little of both ?
Thanks in Advance
Personally, I'd have found it a lot more interesting if the character you're talking about was a Snowcaster Elf. It has the alien factor while still being native to the region.
And what in particular makes them more interesting ?
Because you're not invoking the gimmick of an outer space element for one thing. You have a charcter that's actually part of the world, the region in fact, but still alien to the other races living within it.Personally, I'd have found it a lot more interesting if the character you're talking about was a Snowcaster Elf.

Seems I must clarify, I wrote "roll up a native Triaxian race" as in a race native to the planet not necessarily the race of the same name.
Perhaps I should amend the thread title, eh too late
