So a friend and I are considering an idea in the event that the characters in the campaign we're currently playing in kick the bucket.
Specifically, we're considering having one of us play the horse and the other play the rider.
We've got Ponyfinder (which IMO works quite well) which has a trait that lets a pony count as a mount for purposes of feats & class features and benefit from those abilities. We've also got Path of War and Ultimate Psionics, on top of the usual PF stuff.
The campaign is partial gestalt, with a 2 level offset (so my current character is an Oracle 5//Sorcerer 3), and cold environments feature heavily.
I'd swear I've seen an ability that lets a rider divert incoming attacks to hit his mount, rather than have them hit him, but the closest I can find is the Betrayal feat Ally Shield (which still looks good, but we were hoping for something that worked a little more often)
I'd like to try for some sort of ubercharger/tank who happens to have a paladin riding him, while the actual paladin is built more for utility. Ideally, we'd have a bunch of Teamwork feats that in this specific context are a little bit overpowered (Looking at you, Escape Route (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/combat-feats/escape-route-combat-teamwork)). I was thinking Aegis//Inquisitor for the mount for teamwork feats and durability, with Paladin//something else for the rider.
Any advice the Playground can give would be appreciated.
