Aldori Dueling Sword / Horselord Questions


Advice


Would you be able to two-hand your Aldori Dueling Sword (since it's a one-handed weapon being used with two hands) and benefit from weapon finesse while benefiting from Horselord's Sandstorm ability?

Also, this would allow a level 3 rogue / level 6 Horselord to apply 1.5x Finesse and Weapon Finesse to their Aldori Dueling Sword while charging for x3 damage with Spirited Charge, yes?

Description
These slightly curved swords measure just over 3 feet in length. An Aldori dueling sword may be used as a Martial Weapon (in which case it functions as a longsword), but if you have the feat Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Aldori dueling sword), you can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls with an Aldori dueling sword sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon. You can also wield an Aldori dueling sword in two hands in order to apply 1-1/2 times your Strength bonus to damage.

Sand Storm (Ex)

At 6th level, a horselord gains the benefits of the Mobility feat so long as she is mounted. Additionally, the horselord deals double damage while using a one-handed slashing weapon from the back of a charging mount, as though using a lance. This replaces the bonus feat gained at 6th level.


Oh, and if you took a level in an animal-companion granting class before taking Horselord, would you have to change your mount to a horse/pony, or would you be able to keep the old one thanks to the bit of text I love quoting so much? (Without GM Fiat)

Animal Companion page wrote:

Class Level

The character's druid level. The druid's class levels stack with levels of any other classes that are entitled to an animal companion for the purpose of determining the companion's statistics.

Because every animal companion-granting class counts as a "druid level" and so they all stack together, yes?


(Also, the reason this sort of topic has come up again is because my GM's game is strictly using a 15/14/13/12/10/8 stat array - which limits what I can make. Halfling and Gnome Cavaliers or lancer paladins based on Strength are not a good choice in this particular case.)
