Genie-Touched Companion must have to be a horse ?

[Dragp]

Hi, I'm french thus sorry for my english. I have a question, does the feat Genie-Touched Companion allow you to only take a genie-touched horse ? Or you can have a genie-touched cat for example ?

Sure, based on just the feat it could look like a cat, but in all ways it functions as an animal companion horse with the special abilities listed in the feat. No claws, no pounce.

The actual monster entry is horse-like though.

Fluff-wise: "This magnificent creature seems to be a horse, but the sparkle in its eyes reveals its supernatural origins."
and "Legends hold that in the distant past, genies gifted certain Keleshite tribes with the companionship of a powerful race of equine mounts. Exactly what these mysterious creatures originally were is now lost to time, but their descendants exist still in the form of four distinct breeds of supernatural steeds known as genietouched horses."

I think you still have whatever animal companion you had before... just now it may function as a horse with whatever resistances and other stuffs match its "breed"...

What good this does? I don't know. But I do not think that the feat actually changes your animal companions shape, size, or type.

Technically yes, it doesn't replace your animal companion. However, it doesn't alter it, either. At all. What the feat does is allow the character to take a new companion, a horse with the additions given in the table.

And yeah, it's pretty much crap for regular companions, and only really suited for mounted characters.

RAW you get a Genie-touched Horse.
