Centaur Paladin and Special Mount

[Cthulhu]

*giggles*

Cthulhu likes all this silly talk.

Okay, so what if the Centaur has a 20 Dexterity, and a bunch of ranks in Escape artist. Can it mount itself that way?

Yes, but if it does that too often, it goes blind.

(Ooh, Eric's grandmama is gonna GET me for that one...)

This is officially my new favorite thread.

No, see, my granny's a little dense. She only understands blatant, direct stuff. Like foul language, links to porn, stuff like that. That's what she doesn't like. Innuendo is usually ok.

Dire horse with a side harness?

 

[RogueJK]

How about a little archer friend riding in a chariot that's being drawn by the Centaur?

[Edit] Whoops... forgot the Smiley. [/Edit]

Wait, what if instead of a mount like a horse, it gains a mount like Mount Vesuvius? That seems like a special mount.

I mean, imagine the power. A volcano, with an extra 8 hit dice, and +4 strength. I dunno. This might be munchkin.

I will consciously try not to mentally picture that.

Great, we're on the second page just because some yutz had to go and move a bunch of posts. I mean, who retired and made him webmaster?!

Anyway, what are some other problems like this? I mean, things like Draconic monks. What are the rules for them? Do their unarmed attacks keep dealing more damage? Or Phasm Druids. I mean, really, what good is Wildshape to them? What about Awakened Dire Badger Barbarians? Badgers already have rage! C'mon, you're shafting Badger Barbarians.

By the way, in my last game that I ran, at one point during combat we had a half dozen summoned badgers on the field, working for the PCs to defeat their foes. I'm thinking of starting a new storyhour thread called "Amidst the Badgers." Great name, isn't it? So great that the players decided they want to make a band with that name.

I think the celestial rider is about as silly as the centaur mounting itself. What I suggest is to forget completely the special mount bonus and go for something completley different.

How about horseshoes of speed?

Or compare the centaurs stats with a paladin's warhorse stats and increase the centaurs stats where they are lacking.

How about gifting the centaur with a holy weapon of some type?

An extra use of on one of his special abilities? Extra cure disease, a boost to his lay on hands, unique paladin spells?

these are all just loose ideas, but worth thinking about i think.
