I am planning on teaming up with one of my friends for one of our upcoming campaigns. The original concept was for him to play a fighter, and for him to use me as his mount. The DM suspects that we will be starting out the campaign at level 2, but that doesn't matter much. My friend was originally planning on playing a fighter, eventually leveling into Cavalier, to most efficiently optimize mounted damage, and I was originally planning on playing a Druid, wild-shaping into his mount.
The catch is, he would not be able to ride me until I was level 8, because that is when I can wild shape into a creature large enough for him to ride me. I was wondering if I should go with my original plan, choosing a horse as my animal companion until level 8, then wild-shaping into a Fleshraker, whilst switching my animal companion out for a different animal, probably either a wolf, or a flying creature.
My DM initially suggested playing a Centaur, but I know nothing about the race, and I'm not sure if it would be a good idea. Another player suggested that I play a Dracotaur, but I'm pretty sure he's pulling my leg on that one.
I was wondering I there were any other ways to play his mount any earlier, or if I should focus on optimizing a normal druid.
