Now, I did make use of a few variants, and I hope that you OK them, since this sheet took me a while...

Well, I know that they aren't exactly on the approved list, but I'm hoping for a case-by-case judgement here, since I like this concept a hell of a lot. OK, first off, I subbed out his spellcasting ability for bonus feats at 4th, 8th, 11th, and 14th level (Complete Champion Paladin variant). On a note of this, the feats are supposed to come off of a list dealing mainly with melee and mounted combat, so pretty much all of his mounted combat feats are bonus feats. Just reassuring you, it's more or less legitimate, as far as the book is concerned. Secondly, I made use of a feat from the Book of Exalted Deeds called Ranged Smite (make Smite Evil attacks as part of a ranged attack, prerequisite Smite Evil). And I get the feeling that the Paladin of Freedom variant is OK, since it's almost purely for flavor.
The sheet is 90% complete, it's just really late, and I don't quite feel like adding up every bit of encumbrance (since the hippogriff will be carrying it most of the time), or coming up with some symbolic or important name for his mount. It's a little late for background as well, but I can tell you that he is a fairly standard Templar of Claire, he's got a bit of a personality on him (almost bard-ish in nature, kind of going a different way with that high Charisma score), and he should be quite fun to be around (especially considering that he's a Paladin). Either way, I hope that you will stay open to this concept, and if you don't like some of the variants, I can convert him to a more standard Paladin in nothing flat. But please, I REALLY like this guy. Background, physical description, and all the roleplaying errata will be up tomorrow, assuming he isn't shot down overnight. Thanks for your patience!
