Goblin Guerilla Tactics!
So I have a character concept I used to play and have recently revisited and heavily optimized to be as much fun as possible with many silly options. By no means does he do a lot if damage - but that just is not the fokus.. the fokus are gathering all the shiny stones and worship zarongl.
This post is technically a rules question but I will need to explain the concept a bit so you can more easily understand where I’m going with this:
My Char is a goblin Rogue (Waylayer) Alchemist (Vivisectionist), Gunslinger (Musket Master). He uses firearms (double hackbut - because he loves the kaboomboom, and with the „stand up“ rogue talent this is just hilarious).
The idea is to stay hidden all the time and use the master sniper feat! High stealth + dampen presence, negate aroma, air step, hide in plain sight, undead anatomy, misdirection, nondetection… everything that helps avoid the evil and delicious eyeballs of his enemies!
Now that you know the concept it will be a lot better to understand the general playstyle and might be able to guide me with a possibly very powerful interaction I found: Unk (thats his name) has an animal companion (via animal ally): his piggish goblin dog and smelly mount that he dearly loves. Even though it is combat trained it is mainly used to move around, find food and follow tracks - not in a fight.
But there I had an idea: Could I for instance, at the start of Unks round (while he is hidden), let him quick mount his dog, ride somewhere and enter cover again with a quick dismount and take a full round sniping attack? What stops me from doing this every round? A GM could argue that this would use to many free actions. Or that maybe it would break stealth even though technically unk would be able to re enter stealth by dismounting or taking a 5ft step after - also with the vigilante talent „hide in plain sight“ enemies wouldn‘t even be able to see him riding - provided they don‘t beat his stealth.
So what do you think about this? Anything I’m missing? As GM‘s would you allow this interaction provided? Would you argue it might be too cheesy? I would love to hear your opinion on this!
