Ashworm Dragoon Supermount
« on: August 12, 2015, 01:37:42 PM »
Alright, so I've taken a look into this:

A character with some mixture of Paladin 5, Ashworm Dragoon 10, Beastmaster 1, Halfling Outrider 4, Devoted Tracker, and Natural Bond can give their Ashworm +20 HD, +24 NA, +12 Str, +3 Dex, and a mess of other nice things (like Evasion, Improved Evasion, and Share Spells).

That comes out to a 23 HD Huge Ashworm with Str 43, Dex 13, Con 21, Int 7, Wis 13, Cha 6, and +33 NA.

Now...

1) What's the best order for all of that?
2) I can shave off a level of Ashworm Dragoon and Halfling Outrider without any reduction in bonuses; any ideas for replacing those two levels? I'm in that awkward place where adding another level of Halfling Outrider won't do anything, so...

Another level of Paladin, trading Remove Disease for something useful? Nets +1 BAB and all saves. Add a level of... Warblade later?

Nitpick; being small on a huge mount means that you cant make melee attacks from your mount's back. Granted, you're not required to be on your mount's back...
Apathy is ...ah screw it.

Is there a dip you could take for Tremorsense? Some sort of non-LoE blindsight?

It'd be interesting to shoot around underground and only pop up for precision strikes.

What about taking a Swordsage dip for the Hearing the Air Diamond Mind stance?
