I think this might fit better as a Moderate-level feat, rather than a High-level one? --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] ([[User talk:Ghostwheel|talk]]) 13:04, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

:It was originally, but I felt the animal companion optional stuff pushed it over.  UBermount builds usually require some specific PrC jumps and the result is strong.  I didn't feel that was good for Moderate, but should be fine at High. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 21:39, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

::Do you get both sets of HD and natural armor and Str adjustments on your combat mount pet? - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup>  22:05, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

:::Yes.  That's why it's so strong.  Typically this is only pulled off via shinanigans with that one Halfling class.  I've played them so I feel confident on where their usefulness lands.  They become actual dangers rather than being a flankbuddy which sometimes is useful.

:::It's less of a problem with ranger's nerfed progression, but that can be altered to an almost full druid progression with a little effort (or playing pathfinder). -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 22:14, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

::::How does it work with unusual mounts? Do you pay the delayed progression with one class or both? - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup>  00:23, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

:::::You know, that's a good question.  Technically you choose what it is (say, an animal companion first and foremost) and take whatever penalties (because you have, say, a T-Rex).  Then you add paladin benefits to it after. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 00:37, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

::::::So the feat lets play a boosted griffon or dire tiger with a kind of lame caster companion? ::Amused:: I don't see that as moderate so much, no. - [[User:Tarkisflux|Tarkisflux]] <sup>[[User talk:Tarkisflux|Talk]]</sup>  02:12, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
