[QUOTE="gyor, post: 6688585, member: 6670153"] When he says it fights like a normal mount he means like a none intelligent mount, even though it is intelligent. The rules for independent intelligent mounts are not the normal rules, the normal rules are for riding normal beasts like Warhorses, the rules for riding for riding sentient being that act indepenently are a rules EXCEPTION to the normal rules which are for normal mounts (and Paladin find steed mounts). Perphaps this should go into the next errata or Q&A. As for Ranger companions the solutions are simple, 1) offer stronger companions that qalifify as possible ranger mounts, better stats and perhaps innate tricks. special ranger spells that work on companions to buff them, and lastly a fighting style opinion that allows you to gain advantage on an enemy when your companion attacks it for example. Oh I'll note that A Paladin's mount does have a movement advantage thanks to share spell, when your mounted spells like Misty Step, Tree Stride, Haste (all of which are accessible via Oaths) apply both to you and your mount at no extra cost. This why the Fey Knight (or better yet, a Elderin Fey Knight) is the second coolest teleporter after Shadow Path Monks. [/QUOTE]
