[QUOTE="Grogg of the North, post: 5999225, member: 6682960"] The biggest problem you'll have with a mounted warrior is that later on its very easy for your mount to be shot out underneath you. So you need something stronger than just a horse. Paladin is the obvious choice. You get a powerful horse (or something else if you convince your GM to let you trade). A druid or ranger could do it too depending on race and animal selection. With both of those options, multiclassing will hurt your mount's advancement. In terms of PrC, Halfling Outrider and Cavalier are in Complete Warrior and are good selections. With Halfling Outrider, an option is go Devoted Tracker and make your special mount your animal companion since that class advances both special mount and animal companion abilities. Wild Plains Outrider in Complete Adventurer is also a choice. In Book of Exalted Deeds is a PrC called Skylord where you can fly around on giant eagles. I know you said that flying mounts probably wouldn't work but I just wanted to mention it. In the same book, Beloved of Valarian lets you become an elven unicorn riding princess. And lets you kick some serious butt while you do it. A small Holy Liberator (Complete Divine) could ride his celestial companion. But you get that "late" in the game. The following are options but may be considered cheesy. YMMV. Play a centaur. You count as your own mount. Drow Judicator in Underdark gives you a spider mount. You need to be drow. [/QUOTE]
