The other problem is that it's often difficult to get mounts around in dungeons (especially ones which require climbing).My primary suggestion is to let the PC pick just about anything of animal intelligence (with an appropriate CR) for a mount. Most of the time the guy on the mount will do a lot more than the mount itself.The next one is to let the mounted combat feat apply to reflex saves as well - beat the DC and the mount takes no damage. This is purely a balance mechanic: When running a mounted halfling, my riding dog was constantly getting slaughtered by area spells.</blockquote>
