05-19-07, 10:18 PM Need a second PrC to stack on my Rng/Ashworm Dragoon.

the unfortunate thing I've noticed is that most mounted PrCs don't stack well, and are often largely redundant. I know Cavalier is pretty much the be all end all but it just doesn't fit the character (Talentan Halfling)

05-20-07, 03:50 AM Wild Plains Outrider - Comp Adventurer. It stacks with animal companion and special mount, you'll have to ask your dm if it stacks with ashworm mount, it does in my campaign.
Halfling Outrider - Comp Warrior (if you're a halfling).
Cavalier - Comp War. Only stacks with special mount, but I might allow it in my campaign...

Otherwise, continue with Ranger...

05-20-07, 04:33 PM Two levels of Wild Plains outrider seems like a good choice, but the other two options are frankly lacking. Halfling Outrider is entirely focused on mounted archery (which I wasn't planning on pursuing) and Cavalier is way too Lance focused and completely against the theme of the character (tribal ashworm rider)

I was hoping against hope there'd be something I wasn't aware of yet that would work, but no such luck so far.

Thanks for the suggestions th o

05-21-07, 07:17 AM A version of the Shaaryan hunter (PGtF) could work... it's still somewhat archery-based, but there are some bonuses that can still help. If not, go with the base classes, or put in a level or two of fighter for the feats.

05-21-07, 09:26 AM Maybe skylord? (exalted deeds) or one of the similar flying creature mount prestigue clases? What else do you want for this character? It's not very specific.

05-21-07, 03:00 PM Well again, Ashworm Dragoon focuses primarily around riding the Ashworm and gives a lot of bonuses to mounted combat moves while on your ashworm (super trample, extra damage on mounted charges, all while improving the stats of your ashworm)

Essentially I've got a Talentan Halfling Ranger, who I'll be taking a few levels of Fighter on. He's going to ride his Clawfoot till level 6 at which point he'll PrC into Ashworm Dragoon and and ride his Ashworm for most of the rest of his career. I'm not planning on using a Lance in favor of the Talentan Sharrash, which is something like a scythe with lower damage but a higher threat range.

Feat selection will probably be the standard mounted combat choices: Mounted Combat, Rideby Attack, Spirited Charge, Trample, Weapon Focus (Sharrash), Improved Crit (Sharrash), ect.
