Hey, Halfling Lancers were very efficient in 3.5, what with their ability to enter the same spaces as the rest of the party. :P
Camels don't make much sense, though. Unless you're a Lazylord or something and don't want to be near the battle in the first place.
I'd advise pouring through the D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder Monster Manuals, you're bound to find something with mount rules.
Or you just want to see the look on your enemie's faces when you're charging them down with a lance in hand, on a camel.
I know what creatures can be mounted (technically, any creatures one or more size larger than you).
Griffins are actually fairly common mounts for Paladins, when GM's allow them. A lot of players of Paladins like to ride Griffins because they're a cross between lions and eagles- very majestic creatures, befitting a Paladin.
Other common mounts include dragons (yes, some Paladins ride dragons, particularly Gold dragons or Brass dragons), unicorns, and pegasi.
At the moment, I'm trying to find something that's not too fantastic, around equal with the Warhorse in power, but less eminently dislikable than a horse.
Yeah but some creatures have a specific block next to them about why they might make good mounts.
Though the only example that comes to mind is the hilariously stupid Sea Tiger.
I finished Rede's heavily revised backstory and personality. I really, really do apologize for the length here, but keep in mind this is after cutting over half of it.
I feel this fits in more with the Chaotic Good archetype anyway. Also if there's anything I need to modify to make it work with the larger mythology here, let me know. But I do want the general story to remain the same.
And the contacts and enemies, respectively.
No I mean just like a general name. Are these ruined areas called "The [something]s" or something like that?
I meant just like a general name.
"The Abandonds" or something. But don't use that one, cuz it's stupid.
And the site has decided to go wonky on me.
Just a note; the city is called Evermor, and huge, huge swathes of it are abandoned. They wouldn't have to live in the sewers.
Well the thing is that Rede is not from Evermor.
Is that like....not okay?
It's...
It's okay, but it does present some problems. Notably, as I've mentioned, the wilds outside of the cities are getting thicker and more dangerous, so how did she get to Evermor?
Also, other questions:
What would everyone think about Tetra having a Dire Wolf/Dire Lion mount? Reason being, horses maintain superiority in the field, but lions and wolves are quieter and more maneuverable, making them more suited to hunting in cities.
How do Dire wolves and lions compare to warhorses, in terms of stats? I mean, there's movement speed vs. stealthiness, which you've covered, but I'm imagining these two things have more Hit Dice and are more lethal? Unless they upgraded the War Horse in Pathfinder.
Isn't there a weapon alternative? You can always take Leadership and get a monster cohort. Alternatively, there's a prestige class that does get a Griffin as a mount... it's kind of a regional thing, but it can easily be refluffed if we're in a custom setting, anyway... on that account, is the city a part of a bigger world? By nature, my character is probably backstory light, but being from outside, I'd like to know if there's locations and or background I should/could use, or if I should make stuff up.
Also, what's the deal with character sheets, should I register in that site and make one?
I assume there's still some kind of transportation into and out of the city, no? If not, then how did everyone else get there?
Also there is still, like, civilization outside of Evermor right? It's not just that city? I thought this campaign took place in a modified version of Eberron. Correct me if I am mistaken.
The Paladin's mount actually levels with the Paladin in Pathfinder, in terms of HD, BAB, feats they can gain, STR/Dex bonus, and that sort of thing.
They level using the Druid's Animal Companion growth table.

Oh, this is actually very good.
Will do.
I believe it was called Steel Falcon.
^^ Ah.
There is, but I don't like it. Plus, the bonuses are much less than those a Mount gives you.
I am not aware of this prestige class. Which one is it?
(I will use this to reply to Lazuli, too.)
The city is part of a bigger world. It is not a pocket dimension or any of that sort of thing.
I don't really want to say too much, because a lot of the campaign will be spent exploring the city and finding out what is causing this.
What is happening is, on the continent the game takes place in, everything is growing richer, more abundant, bigger. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the jungle outside of the city is growing thicker and thicker, and where it was previously teeming with life, it is nearly bursting with it now- some more dangerous than others.
This growth also applies to the continent itself, and the surrounding oceans, extending out for several hundred miles. I don't really want to go into the physics of it, because it would all break down, so just say "magic" and run with it.
There are several smaller cities outside of Evermor, including many dozens that have since been annihilated by the growth of the jungle on the continent. Traveling outside of the city is considered dangerous, however, and the further you move, the more likely that a hungry bear, or wolf, or even a dinosaur, might come along and eat you. Moving from city to city is a risky business.
Suffice it to say that this wasn't always like this though.
For the actual towns themselves outside of Evermor, feel free to come up with your own details on them.
That's fine.
So there are no other large cities whatsoever?
I don't particularly mind, I'm just wanting to clarify.
(also wouldn't a large city, no matter how infinitely expanding, still need a sewer?)
Also this setting seems to be the opposite of Dark Sun.
No large cities other than that one, no.
And yes, it has a sewer. I am just saying that nothing needs to live int he sewers, because there's huge abandoned swathes of city where they could settle instead.
This is true. That requires two small tweaks to the post.
Is everything else alright, then?
Everything else is alright, yes.
Cool.
Do these abandoned areas have a name?
Funnyguts said she'll have my character sheet converted into something usable by tomorrow. So you will have that then.
I might come up with names as needed, but I have no names yet.
Also, sorry for not seeing this, Noimporta.
You should either make a character sheet up on Myth-weavers, or fill out a PDF of the character sheet and drop it somewhere I can download it.
I'll check that out then.
Okay, I've checked out the Steel Falcon prestige class (found in the Pathfinder Companion, Andoran: Spirit of Liberty, if you're interested).
They do not, unfortunately, ride griffins.
They do, however, hate slavers. A lot.
Fixed Djanain again, since apparently I left the Kukri in after finalizing Kensai, even though he couldn't be proficient with that and the Scimitar. And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it was't for my meddling conscience!
So, I guess it's done. It's kind of cheesy... OK, it's very cheesy, but I think it'll do.
