Poppet Mount for a Poppet Champion?

[Sean_Powell]

I'm currently playing a remastered poppet champion. I'd like him to have a mount. Generally a little fat shaggy icelandic pony that I guide around with a carrot on a fishing pole and it's little legs go pitter-patter-pitter-patter instead of clop-clop-clop. A player asked me why I wasn't riding a rocking horse and I don't know if I could. If it was a home game I think a GM would gladly re-skin but for a society game I don't want to break any rules.

Is there a way to get a poppet (or maybe an automaton?) as a mount? Or is there any way to apply a poppet/automaton modifier to a mount?

Thanks in advance.

The Inventor Dedication feat gives you an innovation, which can be a construct. The construct companion rules explicitly say that you can ride your companion if it's at least one size larger than the rider.

OTOH, that feat requires Int 14 (+2 under Remaster rules), so it might be out of reach for most champions, unless you play heavily against type.

If you're still level 1 or if you have the remaster rebuild (or are willing to purchase a rebuild), pick up the 1st level feat, Quadruped. You and your mount could be a single unit, so thematically you'd be riding, while mechanically you just have a better movement speed.

If you pick the first level champion feat, Faithful steed, you can select Legchair (grand bazaar) as your steed. Technically it says that

Quote:

Your companion is a strange creature, akin to a chair with bestial legs.

but nobody would probably mind if those legs stand on the slides of the rocking horse, at least it's closer to what you're looking for than a horse.

Anyway, I don't recommend trying to reskin an actual horse/animal to a rocking horse, because rocking horse sounds like a construct/mindless creature, and it would be pretty misleading for the rest of the party and GM as to what your mount actually is.

THAT IS BRILLIANT!!!! Leg chair = rocking chair = rocking horse. No stat or performance change, just what a chair looks like! You may friend are a GENIUS!!!!
