[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 1115694, member: 11300"] 3.0 interpretation As described in Defenders of the Faith, a Paladin may find a Dire Lion as their special mount. However, it is somewhat ambiguous to work out a few things. The Dire Lion is an animal - receiving good saves for: Fortitude Reflex Will However, a Paladin's mount is a Magical Beast and not an animal. Magical Beasts receive good Fortitude and Reflex Saves. Which set should be used? In addition, Magical Beasts have a d10 hit die where as Animals only have a d8. This is confused by the fact that the extra HDs a Paladin's mount receives are d8's!? Again, which way do you go and why? Best Regards Herremann the Wise PS: While I'd prefer a 3.0 ruling, any opinion would be fine. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
