Well, what do you know about that? That seems to work, doesn't it? Oh, and, Sharyuri, I may have a tendency to call Su, or Sulannus, "Su-Monster" from time to time.... [For those who don't immediately remember the reference, the su-monster was a critter in the AD&D 1E Monster Manual.]No objections here!
What class is your character again, Sparky? Cuz...a roundabout way to have a riding dragon is this:
1) Have an arcane class, or Multiclass into one.
2) Take Arcane Familiar feat. Select a draconic type familiar (there are several).
3) If you do not have Ritual Casting...take it. Then buy the Familiar Mount ritual.
Boom. Done. Costs some money and takes some time, but you can now turn your shoulder-dragon into a riding dragon whenever you wish. And it only cost 1 to 3 feats depending on what you got from your class!
...you know, Su could totally do that too.
HMMM...
Edit - Oh, and you have to be high enough level to cast the ritual, of course. But I think level 8 is high enough.
This is getting to be much like a big ol' Fey soap opera! "Days of Our Fey," or something like "As the Eladrin Humps!"Not sure, but it should have been something important, so Harn (you can call Galinndan just Galin for short) will still consider them friends.
Maybe a romantic involvement with another court?
The one Harn fought was the twinbrother of Galin's (female) love interest and he made a fey oath not to harm him in this fight?
