I'm not sure how 3.5 will handle Sure Striking (may fave enhancement...), but we will go with 3.0 for now.
If it changes, we can address that as it happens, letyou change it to something else if it sucks in 3.5 etc...

Glad you like the Horn.



So, how close do you all feel towards final versions of your characters?

Tuskers are a breed of massive boar-like creatures bred by the Dwarfs of temperlain for underground missions and adventures.
Much more massive than a boar, though not as large as a Dire Boar, a tusker provides the speed and power that a dwarf needs and desires, having shattered many an opponant's calvary charge with it's tenacious resistance. Fully a match for Dire Wolves, the tusker has provided the Dwarves with that one thing that they lacked in massed battle, mobilility, having proved decisive in many a battle with the goblins of the Mountains, as well as the more disciplined hobgoblins of Rugrekka to the South.
Able to survive underground without becoming terrified and uneasy (as most animals do when denied the Sun and the outdoors), the Tusker has been bred over the years for it's sure footing (it has Hooves, as well as a back thumb-like 'du claw' for gripping unsure footing).
Although they prefer Dwarves as riders, Tuskers have been known to take on riders of other races when the need arises
(Non-Dwarf Riders suffer a -2 Ride, as the tuskers are not as comfortable with these passengers A successful Handle Animal DC 15 can negate this).

Price: 1,000GP including basic training and instruction, from two to four times that for non-Dwarfs.

Coming Soon: DwarfHounds and Hunting Raptors (Lizardmen)...
 

Heh, looks neat. This is defenitely more than just a riding mount though :-p

Btw, though paladin mods are nice, I really don't like my horse saying *poof* after a few hours (Does ANYONE actually like that storywise?), so I rather go with the basic creature.

Now if I say byebye to my healing Wand, Alembregh has plenty of gold to buy one and give some gold to Duranom, so he can get one too :)
 

I am of a mind to disregard 3.5 Poofing. Your horse /whatever should be there once it is summoned.
S, it's officially '3.0' Paladin Mounts.

Yes, the Tusker is more than a normal Mount, but this is HEROIC, Dammit!

Wait until you see the Bad Guys...

:D


I don't believe you have to buy your Paladin's mount, but your Cohort os welcome to, of course ( as is anyone else).

Tuskers are bred for confined spaces, standing about 4-5 feet at the shoulders, and 2-3 fee wide...pretty much the samesize as a dwarf in armor, thus anywhere a dwarf can go, a tusker can usually fit.

Oh, I am giving them a +5 Escape Artist, just for purposes of getting through smaller corridors etc...anyone who has ever seen a mountain goat squeeze through a small cleft knows what i am talking about.
 

Yay, nonpoofing palamounts! This is getting better and better ;D

I didn't think Duranom as riding a mount, but this really changed my mind. I'm ditching Duranom's Improved Initiative feat to give him Mounted Combat instead. Other than that, only the mount and horn are added now.

Making final postings in a few minutes.
