[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 1772775, member: 198"] Four words for you - halfling paladin on wardog. 'Nuff said. Or, if you want a little more detail, I do think mounted combat works well in 3e (and 3.5). It is powerful with the right feats and magic items, and even more so with the appropriate PrC, but its effectiveness is well-balanced by the fact that you have noted above, that it's not usable all the time. Unless you have a small rider and medium mount, it usually is not a very viable strategy in a dungeon crawl, and is arguably even less effective in certain campaign styles (city-based, nautical, etc). Overall, I think it's a potentially powerful but balanced combat approach. Though your DM may disagree about the latter if you manage to make that one spirited charge with a smite attack at the right time ;) [/QUOTE]
