Orc animal companions and mounts


Pathfinder Society

5/5

Page 22 of Orcs of Golarion states that:
"An orc druid can take a dire boar as an animal companion."
Does this apply to PFS PCs as well?

And:
"An orc can take a war rhinoceros as an animal companion."
Does this apply to PFS PCs as well and does this extend to cavalier characters?

And what stats apply to a war rhinoceros?

Pathfinder Player Companion: Orcs of Golarion

Feats: all feats on pages 24-25 except Destroyer's Blessing and Fire God's Blessing; Spells: all spells on pages 28-29 except enemy's heart and shield the banner; Traits: all traits on pages 22-23 except Blessing of the Feast, Demented Inventor, and Tribal; Other: orc sorcerer bloodline on page 14

1) that section isn't spelled out as legal
2) Half orcs and Orc are usually considered seperate races for some things.

Leaning heavily towards no on these.

Does the sourcebook give an animal companion progression for a dire boar? The Bestiary doesn't.

A cavalier's mount works as an animal companion, but is a different class feature. It would need specific language to add a new type of mount. If available, it might be simplest to use the rhinoceros companion progression with a minimum level to describe a combat-trained woolly rhinoceros, along the lines of Small cavaliers and (riding) dogs.

I would lean towards "No" as well.

Then it appears one must take the Mad Dog or Beastrider archetypes to make use of a rhino?!

I have not been able to find stats for dire boar animal companions either.

There's a Half-orc feat in the ARG that grants access to a Rhinoceros.

EDIT: Beast Rider

1/5

Seems pretty cut and dried that the stuff on pg. 22 of Orcs of Golarion isn't legal in PFS.

If you want a rhino you need to take the beast rider feat from the ARG.

Thank you Nefreet. I had missed that option :)
