[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 3384835, member: 4937"] Shadowfax anyone? It's your world. You are perfectly free to assume that there is a race of awakened/celestial/intelligent horses living on it - the still living decendents of some god or greater spirit in horse form. (Shadowfax's forebearer was said to have been able to produce human speach, so you can take that as far as you want to with good precedent.) Dieties are often highly fecund beings, and crossbreeding with a mare or a stallion wouldn't be out of the question for alot of them. Perhaps this race of awakened horses can take levels in PC classes. I wouldn't have a problem with allowing a horse (or a dog) to take levels in animal or even a special 'horse' class if they've survived battles. It's no less realistic than humans gaining HD when they take levels in fighter or wizard. Treat a favored horse as a retainer if you like - it certainly fits with fantasy literature of every sort from cowboy movies to high fantasy. [/QUOTE]
