Leveling questions

A couple of questions as I'm putting together Midian for level 3.

* The Heavy Horse entry says horses not trained for war use hooves like secondary attacks. If I teach him the Attack trick, does this overcome that restriction? How about the tricks listed under "train for purpose: fighting" or "train for purpose: combat riding"?

* Any objection to the feat Coordinated Strike? (Races of the Wild): During any round in which your Animal Companion or Special Mount makes a melee attack, you gain a +1 Competence bonus on your attack rolls against the same opponent.

* I'm afraid I still don't own the Eberron books. Can anyone let me know how many Action Points I should have for 3rd level? (Maybe I'll even remember to use them this time. ;) )

Thanks,

jason

I think that if you spend the time to train your horse for the specific purpose of fighting, which takes 3 weeks, it can be counted as being trained for war. As a note, the Lhazaar principalities will take place in a partially aquatic environment, so you also qualify for the aqautic animal companions if you'd like to pick one up.


No objection to the feat, it has to be a successful melee strike correct?
 

Bah, water. I'll need to figure out something for a mounted build, which was where he was heading.

Someone should open that box ;)
 


One last question.

Any chance I could get into the Dragonmark Heir PrC and go back to Paladin? Or am I going to need to take the feat to do that? I might go that route instead of mounted combat then :)
 

I don't have a problem with taking the PrC and going back to paladin. It fits the flavor of your character closely since you already have the favored in house feat. You won't be able to pick up the PrC until 4th level due to the skill rank requirement but at least you know what to do with the 3rd level feat.


I think we lost Prof Yeti. He hasn't been to the boards in almost a month. =/
 

Doh! Alas, poor Yeti...we knew him. A man of infinite jest.

Ah well. Speaking of PrC's...I have my eye on two, and I'm trying to choose between them.

One is Recaster, from Races of Eberron...a changeling-only PrC that gives lots of metamagic perks and a couple of spell picks from other class lists. The concept is the mastery of "metamorphic magic," where changelings find that magic is as malleable as their own flesh, giving them surprising versatility/flexibility with it.

The other is the Dragon Prophesier, from Magic of Eberron. I'd need to choose the appropriate feat, either now or at 6th level, to qualify. It gives nifty abilities based on draconic constellations, and makes the character the cohort of a dragon...an agent who seeks fragments of the Prophecy to relay to his master...and for his own edification too of course. :)

Because of that in-game requirement (must have a draconic mentor), the second PrC requires some cahootin' with the GM above and beyond just getting approval for the PrC's inclusion. But it also provides more hooks, and long-term motivation!

Lemme know whatcha think.
