[QUOTE="Vocenoctum, post: 1890821, member: 2477"] I think the Perform skill is more of the bard than anything. Weaving spells into the music is as easy for a sorcerer as it is for a bard. Right, that was my point. If someone shares your opinion, they will agree with your opinion. If you only see the paladin archetype as the grail knight, then all the rules of the grail knight apply. The thing is, you seem to present the opinion that anyone that doesn't assign Grail Knight as the paladin archetype is somehow not interested in a deep cultural basis for the paladin in the setting. I haven't read the book (3 something and 3 hearts?) mentioned earlier in this thread which is apparently the basis for the mount. For myself, I can understand why a smiter of evil must be mobile. In fact, providing a mount is redundant to a chivalric type. They'd already have a mount and I don't really think any one specific horse retained it's position as favored mount for 10 years. The Mount ability of the paladin is actually more useful to a paladin that is NOT a member of the knightly social ranks, but I don't think that's how it was intended. (The 3.5 special mount seems particularly good for my Halfling Guerilla Paladin idea.) I think it's better represented by Exalted feats. Having more feats lends more powers, and the Vow feats add to your responsibility at the same time gifting you with more ability. It means the knight that has sworn the Vow of Celibacy is indeed more "holy" than the knight who just has a vow of obedience. It allows for the individual knights of the round table more as well. (Not all really had the same vow in practice as it were.) [/QUOTE]
