Hey guys! After a hiatus from the game, my group and I are looking at starting up a game again. In particular, I'm looking at playing a dwarf crafter/warrior/ritual caster who rides a boar into battle. Basically, I wanted to play a character who's grasp of magic is academic at best and smashes things up with a hammer from the back of a boar when he needs to get into the nitty-gritty. Sure, he'll have a slew of scrolls to fall back on but he'll primarily be a melee in combat.
Now for the crafter/warrior my DM and I basically worked on making our own ACF of Artificer and we're both happy where that ended up but for the boar I was planning on just having max ranks in Ride and taking the feat Wild Cohort. Unfortunately we're starting at level 1 and you don't get a boar for a while with that feat so my DM said I could try my hand at making a Meager template to apply to a boar to bring it in line with the options I did have and we'd call it good. Now I've tried my hand at making minor changes to classes and brewing up individual feats but I've never really brewed anything like a whole class or a template so I really don't know where to start here.
Oh and for the medium dwarf riding a medium boar, I asked and he said I could just buy a more expensive exotic saddle and call it good. It's a pretty common trope and makes sense so we're not fussing about that too much. We're just trying to keep the numbers in check to make for a nice game all-around.
Thanks a bunch in advance for any and all help y'all offer!
