If the Riding Dog can have any feat under the sun, the comparision becomes much more complex. I mean, forget it, I'll take Imp Initiative, Combat Reflexes, and Power Attack, and a halberd and longbow. The comparison is not even close. Oh, please don't trip me after moving 40 feet, mister dead, no ranged attacks, can't hold a battle line to save your life Mr. Riding dog. Why, Dandu, do I give a hoot about the dog's Jump bonus, yet the fighter's easily superior damage and double damage versus charging opponents doesn't even rate a mention? Why am I worried, at 1st level, about NPCs with entangle spells, rather than Large, quadruped predators? Why do I even care about entangle or grease, which at my level are going to have a duration measured in a few rounds? In the case of grease, I can just lie there prone, taking full defense actions, while opponents shoot at my prone form, hoping to roll a natural 20, until the duration runs out. In the case of entangle,... why do I even care? I have a bow. And a reach weapon, which does double damage against charging opponents.</blockquote>
