Rich Baker on Paladin Mounts and Multiclassing

[Traycor]

Source

We're leaning toward making paladin mounts optional, not a built-in part of the class. So you might gain access to a cool mount by deciding to take the right paragon path or spending the appropriate feat. Paladin players who don't want the complexity of a mount can avoid it easily enough, but those who do want the mount can still make the decisions to get a unique mount.

Paladin multiclassing restrictions are gone.

Ooh, I hope they do the same with familiars and animal companions.

I like this. "kickass mount" would make a nice talent tree.

Well, in R&C they mentioned "familiar" being an impliment for wizards (like staff/wand) that they will impliment in a later supliment. So wizard familars are cut for now.

No clue on animal companions.

Something there worries me alot....


He didn't suggest it being a talent.

He said Paragon path, or feat selection, but didn't suggest making it a talent. I havn't seen anything that confirmed Talents are in. And that worries me, I like talents I think they are a far better mechanic than static class abilities. I hope they're using them.

Earlier in that post he lamented that he might get in trouble for how much he is being quoted on ENWorld lately. He is probably being very choosey on what words he uses so as not to let too much out of the bag.

This was discussed heavily in a recent thread, and we came to the conclusion that "powers" are what probably talents have evolved into, and likely use a similar structure.

Leaning toward? Shouldn't this be figured out by now?

As for multi-classing, I suspect that there is no restriction because there is no multi-classing. Not in the 3E sense of the word. I think there will be class training feats/talents taking the place of multiclass.

POWERS. Talents never existed for D&D.

The PHB was supposed to head to typesetting yesterday. So either paladins aren't in the core rules, which they apparently are, or that's an old quote, or he's being cagey.
