[Pathfinder] Flying Animal Companion Mount
I'm fleshing out an Inquisitor character for a Pathfinder game, and have a couple general build plans, and can't make up my mind.
All of them revolve around me getting a Dragonne as an animal companion (via taking the Animal domain), and likely taking Boon Companion to get rid of the -3 companion level from gaining a companion in this way.
Getting a flying mount sounds like fun. I've never really played a lot of mounted stuff, though I'm familiar with mechanics. Generally speaking, I've avoided it, since horses and other mounts are of limited use in dungeons. Though if you get a medium-sized mount...
In general, I'm planning on being a damage dealer with a two-handed weapon. Light or medium armor. The DM is allowing a 3.5 PrC that lets me channel spells into my weapon (as a move action), too.
So, here's a few different builds I have in mind. I've already rolled my base stats (18, 16, 15, 14, 12, 12, if you're curious):
- Human PC, Large Dragonne, Elven Curve Blade (1d10 damage)
- STR20 DEX 15 CON 14 INT 12 WIS 16 CHA 12
- Halfling PC, Medium Dragonne, Elven Curve Blade (1d8 damage, finnessable)
- Strength Build: STR16 DEX17 CON 14 INT 12 WIS 16 CHA 14
- Weapon Finesse build: STR14 DEX 20 CON 15 INT 12 WIS 16 CHA 14
I guess the real questions are...
1) is it worth decreasing size to make sure my mount/animal companion can go anywhere I go?
2) If I take the decreased size, should I stick with STR as my main stat? +3 isn't shabby, but compared to the +5 to attack at full size or in the finesse build...
Thanks!
