Alright. I have an idea for a PFS building involving a Sylvain bloodline sorcerer with boon companion, but I need to nail a few things down first.
1. If I'm a mounted druid, would it be better to max out my companion/myself for melee combat, or to use it as transport while I fling spells and insults from afar?
2. What creatures would be best for the above purposes? For combat I'm thinking either a mammoth, a hippo (with vital strike and it's brothers) or a rhino. Tigers of course are ideal due to pounce, but I'd rather avoid them (not gonzo enough). As for transport mounts a giant snake (various movement modes) a giant gekop (free spider climb), or anything that flies (because durr) would be good.
3. Is it worth cross-blooding, and if so which bloodline? Aberration + various touch attacks and/or polymorphs sounds good, dragon could work, and arcane is just universally useful.
4. What sort of spells/feats would be useful? Enlarge person shared could be fun, as would other form-of spells (by RAW, they still work). fire breath would he half-decent at low level, as the animal companion could remain mobile while dealing breath damage. Aqueous orb/fire sphere would be great as I could use 2 at once while having mu mount move about.
5. Can animal companions take teamwork feats? In a home game it would depend on G.M, but I want to know PFS verdict. Same with style feats/feral combat training.
