Fleetmasters Should Have Kharybdis Mount Option

Post by MangoPunch »

Fleetmasters should have the option of taking a Kharybdis as a mount. Not only would this make them awesome, but it would also make them viable.

Cool idea -- but how would that combo be better than a Dreadlord on his own and a Kharybdis on its own?

Fleetmasters need to decided whether they are masters or lords.

But I like the K-Beast mount idea!

It would make them a lot more likely to win challenges that's for sure

It'd also force them to be on their own... which means Show No Weakness would become viable to stop yourself from being broken by combat resolution.

Which is a great thing for a monster mounted characters... who get challebged by champions, kill them before monster gets to strike and are beater by static CR

100 points would certainly be enough. You'd be able to give him Black Amulet which is good for challenges.
Alternatively drop his points appropriately and make him a hero like his stats indicate and he'd also see some use I'm sure... I'd probably take him rather than master if I wanted a BSB on foot...
As is, I can't find use for a fleetmaster (and I'm even using Harpies and a Medusa these days)
