In a campaign I'm in at the moment I've developed a Paladin to 6. leve and added a few levels of a home-made PrC to gain most of the mounted combat feats. When I level next time I was very unsure of where to take this guy. I'm not very fond of spellcasting (and that is almost all the paladin gets after sixth level (yes I know about the increased abilities of the mount, but I'm not convinced that it is enough of a benefit to inspire me. Then I read TaB and saw the Dragon Disciple. I was imidiately hooked on the concept!
Since then I've read a few of the musings on this PrC on these boards and I've decided to try and change it toward a more combat-oriented version. I was thinking of removing the new spell known feature and replace it with a fighter-like BAB progression and up the HD to D10 with maybe an upgrade to D12 somewhere around the middle (perhaps when you change size).
As to the size problem I think that the change in size should provide reach and maybe a small increase in speed (+5 or +10 ft oly). I believe that the abilityscore adjustments in the PrC are all bacause of the size-change so they should not be applied twice.
