But yes - none of the standard purchasable mount options are any good.  They're better than standard horses, though.*shrug* unless you're getting it as a class feature, or your searching splatbooks, none of the mount options are all that grand.  This is why you don't normally see mounts in D&D - and when you do, they're generally a sign that that the character is "special" somehow (Druid, Ranger, Paladin).Pity they're not treated as attended objects.  That'd fix around 80% of the problems with mounts.  Without Improved Sunder, you provoke if attacking them with a melee weapon - sometimes worth it, usually not.  You can't generally target them with ranged weapons, and spells will *usually* ignore them (plus, you get the cool feature of the horse and rider turning into a statue with the same spell, for a nifty mounted statue).</blockquote>
