Hello,
I'm going to play a few sessions as a Vengeance Paladin 6 / Warlock Pact of the Chain 4 character.
I was thinking that, instead of going around with a little zoo of of familiar and steed, I could ask the master to "combine" them into a single creature, e.g. a better steed.
question 1: is it worth it?
Advantages:
- the steed would have better characteristics and survivability, so I don't have to worry too much about re-summoning them over and over again
- It would be cool to drive some fancy creature into battle. I was thinking about a steed with dragonish features, from the pseudo-dragon familiar
- If I choose a pseudodragon, I would have advantage on perception throws when mounted
Cons
- obviously, if the adventure leads me to a place where I cannot bring my steed with me, I loose both benefits
- can't send the steed to scout in advance
question 2Which characteristics would you grant to such a creature?
It would be good to "combine" a pseudodragon and a steed, to get a dragonish war horse.
However, how many HPs? Which characteristics and features would you grant?
