Or maybe, these bad-ass priests function as the sort of special requirement for a mount prestige class that allows them to gain additional bonuses or abilities as they advance in level? Maybe these priests do need a special feat, say: Inspired Husbandry (6 ranks in handle animal, War domain, ability to cast 4th level divine spells). The catch is that you have to provide the mount to be imbued, and the price is not in gold, but in service or favour.Righteous Steed Prestige ClassRequirements: Animal Type, War Training, Maximum Hit Dice, Elite SpecimenHit Dice: d8Skill Points: 2 + Int/LevelBAB: As FighterGood Saves: Fort, Ref, WillLevel:1 - grants +4 bonus on ride checks to stay in saddle2 - +1 natural armour3 - +2 str4 - dodge5 - +2 dex6 - +1 natural armour7 - +2 con8 - mobility9 - +2 str10 - +1 natural armour, damage reduction 5/magicSo, a heavy warhorse righteous steed 10 using the elite array might look like...Str 27 Dex 12 Con 22 Int 2 Wis 14 Cha 9Atk +21 melee (hoof, 1d6+8), AC 17, DR 5/magic, 14 HD (154 HP)Feats: Endurance, Run, Dodge, Mobility, Power Attack, Improved Bull Rush, Awesome Blow</blockquote>
