Heraldic Servant
by Jamie Baty(The below is directly from the SCMC)
As a reward for a successful quest, sometimes Immortals bestow a heraldic servant to the head of a deserving noble family or a warrior in their service. The servant is incorporated into the design of the family coat of arms, remaining as part of the inheritance when the original bearer passes away.
These servants are highly intelligent, bestow special abilities on their bearers, and provide services as required. Twenty-one types of heraldic servants are known to exist. Some are noted only in legends and family histories, but 18 are currently serving bearers along the Savage Coast. More than one of each type of heraldic servant may be reported, but each servant is unique created by an Immortal for a particular family.
Heraldic servants each possess three forms: one inactive and two active.
The inactive form appears on the coat of arms; it can be worked into the design however a person wishes as the central element on the shield, part of the crest, or as one of the supporters. For example, the Emperor of Eusdria displays his eagle servant as the main feature on his coat of arms. The eagle is fully spread out, its wings and tail dividing the field into three areas. Regardless of how many times a servant appears on the coat of arms, only one such creature can be summoned.
The primary active form of the heraldic servant is a man-sized version of the creature (regardless of original size). Perfectly formed, each has abilities and magical powers roughly comparable to their real world equivalents. All heraldic servants possess a High Intelligent or better.
The second active form is a humanoid one, retaining characteristics that relate to the natural form. For example, the humanoid form of the dragon is covered in scales, still possesses deadly claws, and retains facial features consistent with a dragon.
Heraldic servants attack with natural weapons when in their true forms. Those who would seem to be out of their element, like the dolphin servant of Savaria's Baroness, are suspended in magical fields that allow them to approximate normal movement. Combat statistics such as AC and hit points never change between natural and humanoid form, but methods of physical attack might. All servants have special magical abilities of some type, from spell immunities to breath weapons; these are available in either form unless otherwise noted.
A heraldic servant will willingly wade into battle if its bearer so orders; if in one of its active forms, the servant automatically moves to defend the bearer unless specifically ordered not to interfere. However, because the heraldic servant is such an immense sign of prestige and because it can be killed, it is usually relegated to the safer activities of heralds or emissaries. Heraldic servants can only be killed when in active form.
A heraldic servant may be summoned at any time by its rightful bearer. The rightful bearer is the person originally granted the heraldic servant or the head of the family after the original bearer's passing. If three successive generations prove themselves unworthy according to the judgment of the Immortal, the servant will be taken away and not returned until two successive generations prove their worth. A deceased servant is withheld until that bearer passes on and a new generation assumes control of the family line, at which time it returns, appearing at the deathbed.
The heraldic servant is devoted to its bearer. They never entertain notions of freedom or treachery, and their alignments will either remain neutral or match those of the bearers. The creatures prefer their natural forms, but hold no resentment at being forced to become humanoid. Heraldic servants are magical creatures, requiring no food or sleep. A heraldic servant does not normally collect treasure, though it might be carrying valuables belonging to its bearer, and it never gains experience. A servant could appear in any climate or terrain, though bearers rarely allow their servants to range very far.
When taking on an active form, the heraldic servant seems to emerge directly from its position on the coat of arms. When returning, the servant must touch the coat of arms it is to become part of. In this manner, the servant may be transferred to a new coat of arms.

The aurochs looks very much like a buffalo or bison. Its body is covered in coarse brown hair, and it has horns and close-set, black eyes. The head of the beast is covered in black, shaggy hair that hangs down in a thick beard across its chest. Its humanoid form looks very much like a minotaur, only with aurochs colouring.
Baron Calturix of Nemausa is the only known bearer of the auroch servant, though many consider him unworthy.
Combat
The auroch servant in natural form attacks using its horns. It can charge and trample foes.
As a humanoid, the auroch servant carries a halberd. It can also choose to use a battle axe, or lance (even a magical ones) if given one by its master. Whatever weapon it holds when reverting to natural form is the weapon it will possess the next time it becomes a humanoid.
Powerful Charge (Ex): When an Auroch servant in natural form makes a charge, its it gains a +4 bonus (instead of the normal +2) to the gore attack and the gore attack deals 2d6 damage in addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge.
Trample (Ex): As a full-round action, an Auroch servant in natural form can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The Auroch servant merely has to move over the opponents in its path; any creature whose space is completely covered by the Auroch servant's space is subject to the trample attack. If a target's space is larger than 5 feet, it is only considered trampled if the Auroch servant moves over all the squares it occupies.
The trample attack deals 2d4+9 bludgeoning damage. Trampled opponents can attempt attacks of opportunity, but these take a -4 penalty. If they do not make attacks of opportunity, trampled opponents can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage. The save DC against DC19 (Str based).
In addition, an Auroch servant that charges a single foe while in natural form may inflict trampling damage against that foe in addition to the normal charge damage.
Alternate Form (Su): An Auroch servant has three forms, two active forms and one inactive form. The first form is its natural form of an auroch. The second form is a humanoid with auroch features. The inactive form is part of a coat-of-arms. In this form, the Auroch servant cannot be harmed.
Heraldic Bond (Su): An Auroch servant grants its bearer several abilities and bonuses, depending on its form.
While in all forms, the bearer gains the following:
+1 to all attack rolls, damage rolls, saves and skill checks
+10 hp
SR17
Immunity to all Mind-Affecting Effects.
When in an active form, the bearer gains the following (in addition to those benefits listed above):
+2 damage when using a halberd, battle-axe or lance
Immunity to Mind-Affecting Effects (Ex): An Auroch servant is immune to all mind-affecting effects, spells, and spell-like abilities (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects.)
Telepathic Link (Su): While in an active form, a Auroch servant and its bearer have a telepathic link enabling them to share thoughts and sensory impressions. This has a range of one mile.

The bear servant is covered in dark brown fur with light brown highlights around its eyes and paws. It typically walks upright, especially in combat, but can drop down to all fours for a better movement rate.

The only known bearer of this heraldic servant is the Count of Harstal.

This creature looks like a man-sized bumblebee. Its body has two segments, the thorax supporting six large legs and a pair of wings with an 8-foot wingspan. The abdomen, which boasts the creature's large stinger, is much larger. The head has two manipulative feelers near its mouth and large, multifaceted eyes. Short, yellow, bristly hair covers most of the body, but the lower abdomen is striped with thick bands of yellow and black.
In humanoid form, the creature retains the wings and multifaceted eyes. Otherwise, it appears human except for yellow and black striped, bristly hair.
Magus Rex, Wizard King of Herath is the only known bearer of this heraldic servant.
Combat
In combat, the bee servant can sting in its natural form. This sting is poisonous. In humanoid form the bee servant loses its stinger but can attempt to touch an opponent, thereby inflicting the poison effect. The bee in humanoid form can also wield a dagger with proficiency.
Bee servants are intelligent foes and will ignore those foes paralysed through its aura or poison in order to focus on active threats.
Fear Aura (Su): The bee servant radiates an aura of fear with a 10ft radius. Any foe attacking it or its beared within 10ft of the servant must make a DC 14 (Cha based) Will save or be paralysed with fear for 1d6 rounds.
Poison (Ex): A bee servant can deliver a dangerous poison through its sting in natural form and a touch in humanoid form. The victim must make a Fort save vs DC 17 (Con based).

Alternate Form (Su): A Bee servant has three forms, two active forms and one inactive form. The first form is its natural form of a medium-size bee. The second form is a humanoid with bee features. The inactive form is part of a coat-of-arms. In this form, the Bee servant cannot be harmed.

As one would expect, this heraldic servant looks like a large dolphin with tough, blue-grey skin, a white underbelly, and some light blue streaks along its sides. It can move with incredible speed, hovering a few feet off the ground and propelling itself as if swimming. In humanoid form, it appears mostly human with webbed fingers and toes, gills just under the jaw line, blue-grey skin, and no body hair. The dolphin servant can still communicate with other dolphins while in this humanoid form.
The Baroness of Savaria is the dolphin servant's only known bearer.
Combat
The dolphin servant is a spellcaster, able to work magic as an 8th-level wizard regardless of active form. In its natural state it cannot use spells which require material components, but flipper motions and dolphin speech suffice for the somatic and verbal components. As a humanoid it is suitably robed, can carry material components, and often possesses two minor magical items (such as wands). The dolphin servant has no spell book but can be provided with one that will be magically absorbed when transforming into its natural form.
The dolphin servant uses a hard-hitting ram attack in its natural form. As a humanoid, it can wield any weapon available to the wizard class.
Spells: A Dolphin servant casts spells as a 8th level wizard. It may cast up to 4/5/4/4/2 spells per day. All spells must be memorised from a spellbook.
Alternate Form (Su): A Dolphin servant has three forms, two active forms and one inactive form. The first form is its natural form of a medium-size dolphin.

This heraldic servant is a small dragon, standing six feet tall. This servant has iridescent green scales and the usual dragon features, including a large set of leathery wings.

Griffons are known as much for their fierce and tenacious approach to combat as they are for their haughty attitude; the griffon servant is no exception. Griffons possess characteristics from two different animals, both majestic in their own right. The griffon servant has the lower body of a lion, with powerful rear legs and a tail, all covered in dusky yellow fur. Its upper body is that of an eagle, including a powerful beak and a large set of wings. This servant stands seven feet tall, large enough to carry a rider. Its humanoid form is several hundred pounds lighter and walks upright.
There are two known bearers of the griffon: the Margrave of Zvornik and the Duke of Pachester. Both use the griffin as a ceremonial steed, decked out in gems and jewellery. The Duke has also outfitted his with a magical saddle and harness.
Combat
The griffon has superior smell and sight. Once in combat, the griffon does not stop until it or its opponent lies dead, or until its bearer calls it back. The griffon usually attacks from the sky, making a raking pass with its claws before landing and attacking with its beak and both claws.
The Griffon servant in either its natural or humanoid form may be the target of its enlarge person spell-like ability.
Pounce (Ex): When a Griffon servant in natural form makes a charge will flying, it can follow with a full attack.
Alternate Form (Su): A Griffon servant has three forms, two active forms and one inactive form. The first form is its natural form of a medium-size griffon.

These heraldic servants are either the darkest black or the purest white. Though they are a bit small for horses, medium-size humanoids can ride them with little difficulty. In humanoid form, they appear as white- or black-skinned humans, with a thin mane of long hair running from the brow to the base of the neck in the place of regular hair.
This heraldic servant possesses a magical form of flight, walking or galloping into the air as it would higher ground. The horse's flight works only while being ridden by its bearer, who must telepathically command it to do this.
The only known bearers of this heraldic servant are the Duke of Cimarron and the Baron of Mohesia.
Combat
The heraldic horse fights as a warhorse would; as its rider attacks, it is able to rear up and use its teeth and front hooves. In the servant's humanoid form, it magically produces a common, dire mace. The Horse servant may be given barding to wear in Natural form, and this barding will magically convert into armour for the Humanoid form.
Alternate Form (Su): A Horse servant has three forms, two active forms and one inactive form. The first form is its natural form of a medium-size horse. The second form is a humanoid with horse-like features. The inactive form is part of a coat-of-arms. In this form, the Horse servant cannot be harmed.
Flight (Su): A Horse servant can cease or resume flight as a free action. The ability is supernatural, it becomes ineffective in an antimagic field, and the Horse servant loses its ability to fly for as long as the antimagic effect persists.
Heraldic Bond (Su): A Horse servant grants its bearer several abilities and bonuses, depending on its form. While in all forms, the bearer gains the following:
+1 to all attack rolls, damage rolls, saves and skill checks
+10 hp
SR18
When in an active form, the bearer gains the following (in addition to those benefits listed above):
Regeneration (Ex): The bearer of the Horse servant is difficult to kill. Damage dealt to the bearer is treated as nonlethal damage and he automatically heals nonlethal damage at the rate of 1 hp per round. Fire and acid deal lethal damage to the bearer, which doesn't go away. The bearer can regrow lost portions of their bodies and can reattach severed limbs or body parts.

This beautiful creature has glossy black feathers and a golden beak. It is very poised and graceful. Its humanoid form is always female with enthralling, elven features; long black hair; dark eyes; and a beautifully feathered cloak.
The Count of Enom is the only known bearer of the black swan. Legends mention a white swan heraldic servant that has similar powers, but uses charm rather than dominate.

Black Swan servants typically avoid melee combat, preferring to dominate a foe and using it to defend her and her bearer. If forced to fight, it pecks with its beak in natural form and fights with a dagger in humanoid form.
Dominate (Sp): Once per day, the Black Swan servant can dominate a foe. This ability is identical to the spell dominate person, with the following exceptions: it can affect any creature except for immortals and exalted creatures, and it bypasses all spell resistance. The victim is allowed a Will save vs DC 18 (Cha based, +2 racial bonus) to avoid domination.

+1 to all attack rolls, damage rolls, saves and skill checks

The wyvern servant measures about six feet long, not counting its additional six-foot tail. It has a serpentine body covered in greyish scales and a head resembling that of a dragon. Unlike the dragon, it only has only the two hind feet. Two leathery, bat-like wings extend from its back, and its tail ends in a deadly stinger. The wyvern servant communicates with hisses and deep-throated growls in its natural form.
As a humanoid, the wyvern looks much like a lizardman, losing the wings but keeping its basic features and coloration. Unlike all other heraldic servants, the wyvern cannot speak even in humanoid form; in both forms, telepathic communication is possible with its bearer, however.
The Margrave of Slagovich is the only known bearer of the wyvern heraldic servant.
