[QUOTE="nittanytbone, post: 3999606, member: 35709"] Are you starting at level 1? Avoid LA like the plague. A small race often does well when mounted, as their mounts are Medium sized and can thus be brought anywhere. Also note that Power Attack works the same for small critters or medium critters. The trick is to find a class that advances special mount progression. Here's a few that come to mind: - Any (with Wild Cohort feat) - Any (with Leadership) - Druid (great class, only lacks martial weapon proficiency and bonus feats) - Paladin - Beastmaster PrC - Wild Plains Outrider - Halfling Outrider - Ranger (but has terrible progression) The natural bond feat is great with any sort of druid companion. A goblin could make an interesting mounted combatant, with their racial bonus to ride checks and affinity for worgs. Start with a wolf then upgrade to riding dog when you get a bit of cash. The Beastmaster PrC will keep your mount viable at higher levels. Wild Plains Outrider synergizes great with some rogue or ranger levels to create a very fast, mobile and fairly hard hitting (with the "pounce" like ability of Wild Plains Outrider 3) scout. Strongheart halflings are great too for the bonus feat. [/QUOTE]
