So for a time, it would be like a druids animal companion, but would move to mount around level 8 (or you could run ti like my above suggestion)

You could have the griffon be trained through the character progress and start out like a pseudodragon, then become like a dog/wolf, then move up to something cheetah/leopard/panther sized and finally become a mount. Anyone could train to RIDE a griffon as well they just wouldnt be companions. See my above response a third party product already has an order of the griffon.īut you could have a ranger or a druid or an oracle with griffon mounts too. What could a griffon companion offer without breaking the balance and overshadowing the character? What would you guys suggest for such an archetype to trade off for a griffon companion? I'm thinking the mount and maybe the cavalier's charge and/or expert trainer. At around 7th (when most companions become Large-sized) or 8th (when a regular griffon would be available as a Leadership cohort) that 'Griffon Companion' would grow to Large and be suitable as a mount. Now, for that reason (and the detailed description on the Revisited line) I thought about a Cavalier archetype that got a Medium griffon pup at first level. Normally I wouldn't worry about this and just let it remain on the background.ġ) I'd like to show the PCs that their actions can really impact the setting, and their determination has spawned a whole new order, complete with their ethos, traditions, etc.Ģ) As we're starting a level 1 campaign in this very kingdom and I know for a fact one of the players intends to play a griffonrider, I'd like to have a balanced mechanical way of dealing with this. To make this clear: The PCs in my main campaign have hatched the griffon eggs and are trying to organize some sort of griffon-aerial-cavalry (despite not one of them being a mounted-type).

(we have a Ronin in our game, we are currently playing CotCT and she wants to eventually become an Order of the Griffon Samurai.In my world there is no such thing as a hippogriff, basically because I feel they over lap too much with a pegasus, so I use the hippogriff stats for the sable company marines as 'Griffons bred in captivity' they aren't a full griffon because they are stabled and trained as mounts and not 'wild griffons')

So my answer is 'mighty morphin hippogriffs' Hiam Saban style! Find the secret to unlock their full griffon hood! (right about level 8)Īs far as an order of cavaliers, TPP 'advanced options cavalier orders' (i thinks its 4 or 5 bucks in PDF form here on Paizo) has an 'Order of the griffon' cavalier order already written up. By the time he actually fights the shade demon, the dragon is 'battle ready' Needs more rest, walks more often, etc etc. Think of it like Eragon, the dragon isn't fully capable when he first rides it. Just use the hippogriff in the same way dragons use age categories, so a hippogriff stated griffon would be large enough to ride but not fully 'griffon ized' like a juvenile dragon. Use Hippogriff stats for a 'younger griffon in training' once they get to 8th level use full griffon stats.ĭon't use 'young' template for a Griffon because technically it would be to small to ride then. CotCT 4th level Ranger Feat 'Sable Company Marine' allows a hippogriff as a mount for a ranger (PF cavalier wasnt invented yet but would be the same) So convert feat.
