[QUOTE="jodyjohnson, post: 1976811, member: 5590"] Griffon Mount of Pal 13 Large Magical Beast Hit Dice: 11d10+33 (59 hp) Initiative: +2 Speed: 40 ft. (6 squares), fly 90 ft. (average) Armor Class: 23 (–1 size, +2 Dex, +12 natural), touch 11, flat-footed 21 Base Attack/Grapple: +11/+20 Attack: Bite +16 melee (2d6+5) Full Attack: Bite +16 melee (2d6+5) and 2 claws +14 melee (1d4+2) Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft. Special Attacks: Pounce, rake 1d6+2 Special Qualities: Darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, scent Saves: Fort +10, Ref +9, Will +6 Edit: (using Paladin's base Fort/Will saves Fort +11, Will +7) Abilities: Str 20, Dex 15, Con 16, Int 7, Wis 13, Cha 8 (+1 somewhere for 8 HD) Skills: Jump +9, Listen +6, Spot +10 (+4 Skill points for HD) Feats: Iron Will, Multiattack, Weapon Focus (bite) (One bonus for 9 HD) Advancement: - None, advancing as Paladin Mount Level Adjustment: +3 (cohort) Griffons are powerful, majestic creatures with the characteristics of both lions and eagles. From nose to tail, an adult griffon can measure as much as 8 feet. Neither males nor females are endowed with a mane. A pair of broad, golden wings emerge from the creature’s back and span 25 feet or more. A griffon weighs about 500 pounds. A griffon cannot speak, but understands Common. COMBAT Griffons prefer to pounce on their prey, either diving to the attack or leaping from above. Pounce (Ex): If a griffon dives upon or charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks. Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +8 melee, damage 1d6+2. Skills: Griffons have a +4 racial bonus on Jump and Spot checks. Paladin Mount Abilities: Improved Evasion, Empathic Link, Shared Spells, Shared Saves, Improved Movement. Carrying Capacity: A light load for a griffon is up to 400 pounds; a medium load, 401–800 pounds; and a heavy load, 801–1200 pounds. The mount can not fly at more than 400 lb load. I have no idea where all the stat increases came from. He should only have the +1 for 8 HD, and one additional feat for 9 HD. Did you roll up the stats separately as if it were a cohort? If you did then the Paladin has a Cohort equal to 11 HD + 3 LA which is a 14th level Cohort and not available until 16th. Plus as a cohort he wouldn't advance on the Paladin chart - he'd advance as a character. [/QUOTE]
