Sable Company Marine questions

[Shotgun Solutions]

I read that the SCM doesn't get the charge bonuses from the hippo's flying charge is this still the case?
If it is would it be better to make my SCM a ranged attacker? I plan to go full level 20 SCM.
Thanks for any insight folks!

Because it's not called "charge", it's called "flying attack". You can read Hippogriff's description in game, after right-clicking his image in Sable Marine archetype description.

As to be ranged or not - it's a matter of preference. Your capstone at 20 is kinda biased towards melee for juicy damage. And you have combat feats which allowing you to be Two-Weapon with low Dex. And you have mount, which solves your mobility problems. And Owlcat added many Sawtooth Sabers with pretty unique (I'd say, gamebreaking) abilities.

Melee it is! Thanks for the info. I was just reading that Owlcat has apparently acknowledged that the charge bonuses on weapons and feats not working for the flying attack is a bug and will be fixed.
That sounds like it will be pretty insane for melee.
