Sc’math as Loyal Companion?

Hello Steven,

I’d still be very curious for an explanation on the reasons why it can’t be from Henry or Pete.

I think the answer was pretty well laid out by Cody. It is not an exact equivalent of a warhorse and while you can’t take the Loyal Companion talent with the Sc’math, there are other Paths (I believe) in the forthcoming Ssethregore book where such options are available. (Again, I can’t check on that this moment, but I believe I remember it being there).

Personally I’m waiting on the Sseth book to take a look at the Drakhen before deciding what to do with the Scmath. To be honest I’ve seen very few if any mods where your mount can affect things. Usually you have to leave them behind when you go into dungeon, or whatever. Ditto for just about every OP campaign I’ve been in. Now druid/ranger animal companions are a different matter, but the larger size ones can be problematic in some areas. I don’t mind having the mount for character flavor, but doing something else with it would be cool as well. Actually that begs a point…What about a wolf lizard? Don’t have books in front of me, and it’s something I don’t think currently exists but a Jeggal Sag “Master of the Hounds” path using reptilian stand-ins for dogs might be cool. On the other hand reptiles really aren’t pack animals are they? Maybe ‘packs’ of velociraptors or some such. Anyhow something for the Powers That Be to think about.
