I just saw a video that showed the Rootball Chair, which has 10 feet of reach, and a 30 foot vertical leap as its advanced maneuver!
Now I need a round rubber ball weapon that has returning on it...

Seriously, the armchair was cool, this is maybe even better, and I still dont know what the oozeform chair can do!

BTW, how are Large sized chair Companions treated when it comes to being indoors?

I assume they Squeeze like any other Large companion indoors.


2 more days till the pdf is out...

I hadn't thought of that!

Maybe the oozeform chair will get to squeeze without slowing down.

Bear in mind Squeezing as in the Acrobatics action is about taking a solid minute to fit into a crawlspace, not just walking through a hall narrower than your combat space. The Squeeze activity suggests that merely moving through a narrow area is more like difficult terrain


I noticed that when I looked at Squeeze.
I think that Rootball chair gets to ignore difficult terrain, and any Mount can make up for lost movement by doubling up(down?) on Move in a given turn.

I wonder how one gets these non-animal Companions?
Are they just another option?
I hope they include a Construct chai and an Aberration chair.
Oh, and an undead throne...

The replacement wraith-arms that let punchy monks have ghost touch without spending a rune slot for it are solid. Well... they're solid some of the time, anyway.

Yep, you can take them as normal! I imagine they wouldn't include a construct chair because "construct companion" is Inventor-specific, and they can definitely make themselves a mobility construct companion. That said, I have definitely been picturing the legchair as being a weird taxidermy or animated object style construct rather than an animal.

As far as an undead throne goes, I'm playing a character with one right now. The GM allowed reflavoring a skeletal mount to four skeletons carrying a throne. It works pretty well, although zombie mount might be better to keep it from getting killed from under you.


The Inventor Archetype gives a construct companion, but it doesn't have any benefits,and it can't start out any bigger than Medium.
So far all the assistive Companions get Mount and can start out as Large, plus they get a support benefit.

Yeah, I'm not talking about the archetype, just the class, which can choose options such that the construct companion starts at Large size. Construct companions don't need Mount because they lack the same restrictions, and while they don't get a support benefit, there is a feat that permanently gives the support benefit of legchair without spending any actions. It's a lot more narrowly available than the assistive companions, yeah.

My point is more that because we have something called "construct companion", I don't think we are likely to get any constructs under the animal companion rules like we did for plants and oozes. I could certainly be wrong, since "ooze you can ride around on" wasn't on my list of expectations, but if not, I'd suggest that legchairs make a great stand-in for a construct option.


Good points QuidEst.
I think the legchair and the rootball give more for your investment.
