Pimp my Ass!

[JiffyPopTart]

My 1st level wizard in Age of Worms had nothing to spend his cash on so he bought a Donkey. We named him Bill, of course. He is the only remaining living being from the original party.

He was last seen outside Diamond Lake with a 55 gallon barrel of lamp oil strapped to his back.

Our mule currently has mithril plate mail barding of acid resistance, with a black unicorn horn mounted that lets him cause wounds 3/day, horseshoes of speed, an 'earing' of water walking, an amulet of natural armor, and a couple bags of holding. He's got more magical items then any of the rest of us (And I think we're considering getting him saddle blanket of resistance and an ear ring of evasion.) We love our mule.

Keen that in mind for further 'pimping'

EDIT: Whoops. I put down Donkey, when I meant to say Mule. Keep that in mind.

1 level of rogue, weapon finesse (bite), you see where this is going by now...

No one suspects...

the rogue donkey!


Seriously, though, I'd go for barbarian with Instantaneous Rage. You'd rather not draw attention to him by having him go into a barbarian rage, but those extra hitpoints and will save can come in handy when he DOES get some attention.

Also, he moves faster, which is always good for a mount.

Or Warlock, and take Spiderwalk as his invocation - he's a mule who can walk on ceilings and shoot laser beams from his eyes.

Yoink!

You may have to take Fighter. Your Mule had free Armor Proficiencies as a war trained Animal. Strictly speaking, your Awakened Mule no longer gains that benefit, and you probably want to keep the Heavy Armor Proficiency.

It's mithral full plate, so technically it's Medium armor proficiency. But yes, I didnt notice that until I read another thread. It's something I'll need to keep in mind.

That said, the idea of a Paladin mule with smiting hooves DOES tickle my fancy. I'd probably use charging smite rather then letting him get a pokemount though. Would you allow an awakened war mule to be able to use weapons with its mouth? I'm also considering going with Warmage after taking a level of fighter. This way he can run around while shooting fire from his mouth.

I hate to burst the OP's bubble, but:

Awaken
An awakened animal can’t serve as an animal companion, familiar, or special mount.

I'm also pretty sure that "additional HD" cannot be "class levels," but that's a bit more grey.

I'm not taking him as a animal companion, familiar, or special mount though. I'm taking him as a cohort using leadership.
