Beasts don't have thumbs.

Also, what self respecting Drake wears armor?

Ones that notice Drakes don't have tough hide?

There's a LOT of incentive for Drakes to take Draconic Heritage. Just saying...

Yeh, this is the one thing that they they don't have that you would expect in a dragon. A spp feat to grant toughend scales would be nice...

Fortunately, Draconic Heritage already covers that (and then some).

Unfortunately, you have to be a Sorcerer if you want to snag Draconic Heritage and Truescale. Or, I suppose, a Paladin.

There is a decent number of Species Feats that I, as a GM, would allow players to take after level one, especially with some story/backstory justification.

Is an Animal Partner a gear? Specifically, does a Cavalier's Favored Gear (mount) apply to a Lancer's Lifetime Companion?

Not quite as good would be a couple of dragon specialities that include draconic heritage:

Lair Dweller: for smaug types but also good for others who dwell in lairs such as ogres or giants

Dragon Lord: for drakes who actively lord it over a regions more mundane inhabitants (Council of Wryms was an extreme example)

Though Animal Partner is not a Gear feat, I might allow it.

In one of our games we had a Cavalier Lancer/Beastmaster with that combination - he rode a whole lot of Drake and while it was powerful, it wasn't gamebreaking or anything [no more so then a high level beastmaster anyway].

The more I look at it, the weirder the Cavalier looks. A 1st level character can't afford a mount, so the feat is sort of a placeholder until you (ahem) acquire one. After 1st level, you can change the subject of the Favored Gear feat.

So he gets to roll 2 AD when his mount makes an attack, skill check, or he makes a ride check? It seems a bit......forgive the Californian in me as I use the word with it actual meaning, awesome.

We ruled that it had to be the character with the feat making the check [using the gear], rather then the gear itself making a check.  So that basically covered Ride Checks.  Anything else simply steps on the toes of the Beastmasters core ability a bit too much [that one feat would cover the entire core ability].
