I have a halfling player who took leadership and got a blink dog. I ruled that he could ride him as if he were a riding dog. We then began to discuss the possibility of a magic saddle that would allow the blink dog to teleport his rider in addition to himself.

I'm concerned with two areas mainly. First off, will there be problems with the blink dog teleporting his rider as a free action. This allows him to teleport and make a full attack option (and this guy it a rogue so he can now easily flank and shank). Should I make it a move action? Second, should I reduce the range they teleport together to 80 feet (or whatever) so that they can't just teleport away from encounters?

Lastly, I'll need to put a price on it. This isn't really a "concern", but I can't do it until I get the other feedback. The character is level 11, and Iwould like for him to be able to get his hands on it as soon as possible, even is that early version is more limited (certain number of times per day, extremely limited range, ect.).

Take some levels of caster, and make the blink dog your familiar. Problem solved, and you get a new cohort!!
