    This does make me wonder, can your mount move and attack (move action + standard action, or full attack due to pounce goodness) while it's rider shoots it's bow (full attack)?

    I believe the Spider does have the best poison of the lot. Add in Vermin Trainer feat from Drow of the Underdark and you've got a free daily source of poison.

    Edit: In terms of DC for size, scorpion beats spider beats centipede and in terms of damage for size, spider beats centipede beats scorpion. In terms of value of the damage type, well, that's up to one's preferences between Constitution, Dexterity, and Strength... I'm most partial to dex and con myself, though against the right targets strength/con are the better combo.

    Sure, but you'd rather want a pouncer which can charge and full attack while you full attack.

    That is, if you plan on riding to melee, but if you do the ancient parthians will turn in their graves.

    ... a wizard did it.
    Dang it, now that I've been thinking about it I want someone who has all the relevant books to stat this thing up.



    On topic: I personally favor big cats. Especially tigers. Especially elven rangers riding tigers into battle. Epic.

    I think you need to go third party (AFAIK, Necromancer Games' Tome of Horrors is the only source) in order to get Dire on a House Cat.
