Svirfneblin Cavalier special mount

Post by miesny_jez »

Hi,

I am playing a Svirf character and as I do a lot Riding decided to go Cavalier to have access to summoning a mount.

And here starts the problem.. all of UD races are getting the Dreadsteed for default special summon cavalier mount and of course my Svirf cavalier is summoning the Dreadsteed.

It looks great and awesome, but.. my character is not EVIL (just small and occasionally evil) and does not dabble in Necromantic arts but the moment I summon such a mount on the surface - an undead bone skeletal horse I am sure to run into RP issues.
So while it is okaish to use such a mount in UD I guess, it is a no-go on the surface.

Can we get an exception for Svirfneblin Cavaliers and get something more neutral?

I'm thinking here specifically about Stag Beetles.

Can we get some nasty looking Stag Beetles as mounts for Svirfneblins?

Or any advice how best to handle the obvious "Necromancer!" Rp if I use such a mount on the surface as a Svrif cavalier?

The team is always looking for more model artists to make us more mounts!

For you, the day Kenji overhauled your class was the most important day of your life.
But for me, it was Tuesday. :face_with_monocle: To-do list

I use that horse a good bit when needed, and it does get reactions like that. The best thing you can do at the moment is remind people its a construct, not undead. This is what it actually is. You are a gnome. Golems and constructs are what you do. It's an uphill battle, but until more options are opened up, you're gonna have to macro that explanation because you'll do it alot.
