[QUOTE="scipio, post: 1976759, member: 16382"] 13th level paladin wants a griffon for his mount. Fine. A griffon cohort adjustment is +3, thus, if I'm doing this right, the paladin can have the mount starting at 8th level (based on PHB), and the mount would have bonuses at 3 levels less than the paladin. Thus at 13th, the bonus is +4HD, +8 AC, +2 Str, 7 Int. After rolling the stats using the DMG method for monster stats, here it is: HD 11D10+55 Init: +5 Speed: 40 ft, 90 ft fly (average) AC: 26 (-1 size, +5 Dex, +12 natural) Base Attack/Grapple: +11/+23 Attacks: Bite +19 – 2D6+8 2 Claws +17 1D4+4; pounce (2 rakes – +17/ 1D6+4) Feats/Abilities: Dark vision, low-light vision, scent, Multiattack, Hover, Fly-by Attack, Power Attack, Improved Speed, Empathic Link, Improved Evasion, Share spells, Share Saves Skills - +11 Jump, Listen +7, Spot +11 Abilities: Str. 27 Dex 21 Con 20 Wis 14 Int 7 Cha Saves: F+18 R+12 W+13 (as the paladin, who has cloak of resistance +4, Cha +3) Equip: Magical Branding granting magic fang +1 to bite and claws In short, this thing is a beast, and the paladin riding it isn't bad either (triple damage with charging lance attacks). He is, however, pretty weak by himself on the ground. My question - have we gone wrong somewhere, or does this look correct? [/QUOTE]
