I think I've asked this before, but the leadership rules have changed since then.

How does a cohort mount work? Would it simply advance the mount? Or would it be finding an intellegent mount?

How would it work with things like the Outrider's mount ability?

 

[Knight Otu]

Not sure about time, but I could see a TN god of the Enworphant, perhaps the one who drives it so it doesn't stop, who has driven it before the world was on it's back, and will continue to do so afterwards?

Might not be greater, but certaintly is interesting. The god of continuity and inevitabilyt?

I'm not sure if that's an area where something definite should be established. The enworphant, along with its and the world's origins, feel to me like they 'want' to stay mysterious. Regarding the Enworphant as a god - it might get worshipped, but I don't see it granting spells. Enworship, if I may coin that term, should probably be more of a philosophy like the Mortalists.

Typically, mounts don't advance in levels, though intelligent mounts probably can. Advancing in hit dice is, for the most part, less powerful than advancing in level, with the pesky exception of increased size categories, which can be hard to handle. For a typical horse or other normal animal, no advancement should occur from my pov unless the animal has an advancement line; those animals simply aren't cohort material. Celestial/fiendish mount or other intelligent mount cohorts might advance in level, but likely not in Hit Dice - the latter represents growth rather than experience for the most part.
As for how things work with classes that have special mounts already - I'd simply say the two abilities need to stay separate as already hinted at in the feat description - a special mount isn't a cohort (from the leadership feat) and vice versa.

Your cohort should have come with standard starting wealth for the level. If he didn't, then yours was even more nerfed than the 25 point buy.

Well, I asked Manzanita to introduce it in game, and it made senses to find it naked. It wouldn't have made sense to find him with his equipement. And opposite to Vanitri, who alreday have met her futur cohort before taking his leadership feat, I found that no one fitted well as the futur cohort, so I told to Manzanita, here some guideline for my futur cohort. He mostly respect it and it gives Hogarth and it was nice with me.

Vanitri ain't a girl... yet... given the adventure that could change at any time...

Yeah, I don't feel like the Enworphant is really interested in the affairs of Enworldians. From the sound of things, he just kinda got a world dumped on his back and he didn't really care, he simply plods along like he always has. And I also don't like solidifying the Enworphant into a true deity. Just doesn't... feel right.

I'm just seeing into a possible futur

I've been reading the discussion threads with interest recently since I got actively involved in LEW. I have a few questions that have sprung to mind.

(1) The Enworphant. Do the common people of Enworld know that their world is supported on the back of an enormous elephant? How do the people who know, er, know? I suppose the gods may have mentioned it, but has any mortal ever found proof? If you managed to travel to the "head" or "tail" edges of the world and looked over, could you see the Enworphant miles below? Could you fly off the world and visit it?

(2) Where in Enworld are gray elves likely to live? Do they have their own snooty city somewhere?

(3) Have giants featured in any adventures yet? Has it been established where giants, particularly frost and stone, might be found?

Weren't there a lot of elves in some city that was variously misspelled to the point that I can't remember if it is Ravenblight or Rivenblight or something? I'm not sure.

I don't think a great deal has been made of giants. I would strongly suspect, considering stone giants' propensity to revere the earth, that a lot of stone giants would live near the Earth Tower. I don't really know where it's cold, but that's where frost giants would be, I imagine.

Fair enough. Rivenblight, I guess, because of the split in half thing. Do you know of anything set there that I could read?

Thanks. I suppose there must be some high mountains near the Earth Tower where Frost Giants could be found too.
