Whoops.
Sorry about that. I guess I should have actually looked at what you quoted.

I thought about that, but because it is a "Flying Mount", per the Class Special, it allows for the ZS to apply certain Flying Feats.
I agree, it is a different way of applying the concept of an animal companion.
I'm just trying to see if there is a way I can get Herolab to accommodate it.
It's definitely not a show-stopper.

Now this is something I did not think about.
Thanks for the tip!!
