Message: <blockquote data-quote="Salthorae" data-source="post: 5525400" data-attributes="member: 1095">A Paladin's Mount also is treated as a Magical Beast for all effects related to type, so I guess that is real key, anything that has INT over 3 is no longer an animal, but a magical beast and you could teach a magical beast to read, but not an animal.As for devoted tracker, it may be semantics or RAW vs RAI, but it never states in the section related to Animal Companion that it must be an animal companion from your Ranger class abilities, so a Druid with Track could take the feat and benefit from the animal companion section as well. All it says is "if you have an animal companion". Whereas the other two sections dealing with multiclassing and other ability stacking specifically mention "ranger". I.e. "ranger levels stack" and "you may multiclass freely between paladin and ranger".As to how it could be all three... I guess it depends on your view of Devoted Tracker, but I've never heard anyone interpret that as only Ranger on the animal companion portion. If you do... moot point. If you don't, then a special mount = animal companion based on that feat. Throw a level of wizard or sorcerer in there and then take the Arcane Hierophant class which allows you to treat your animal companion as a familiar for special abilities (not Int or Nat Armor) and viola, A Special Familiar Companion Mount.</blockquote>
