[QUOTE="thundershot, post: 666649, member: 628"] My wife has been putting off getting a bonded mount for her paladin for a few levels now because she wanted to get something different (using the rules in Defenders of the Faith). Well, then I bought Natural 20's In the Saddle, and she fell in love with the giant bunny (Riding Hare). She wanted her Aasimar Paladin to ride in battle on a giant battle bunny. Unfortuantely, it was only 1 HD, and she would have been a little cheated out of a better mount by choosing the bunny, so I offered to add a template or two to help raise it's CR so it's 3 less than her Paladin levels (per the Defenders of the Faith book). And lo, Alexander the Half-Celestial Riding Hare of Legend is born... aka The Bunny God. I used the Monster of Legend template, and added a +2 to the CR, and then the Half-Celestial template to give it another +1, which gave it a CR of 4. Sure, the bunny won't be attacking much with it, but it sure isn't likely to get hurt very often. That, and it has wings! I've never seen my wife so happy after rolling up a character, much less an animal! Yes, it might be a little powerful (though I was using the rules), but it's major advantages are the carrying capacity, and the ability to fly. And fast healing... The other players loved the bunny as well. :D I'm just so happy that they're having FUN, which is what the whole game is about.
