[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 847434, member: 3051"] The problem is, if the bonus HD were intended to be PrC-like, then you should be able to treat them as such, which means stacking saving throws and BAB differently. But, for that to work, you'd need some sort of explicit rules for which saves are the good ones, what the "class skills" are, and so on. I mean, we can't just assume Magical Beast, since as you've pointed out, the Hit Die is wrong for that. AFAIK, there are only two splatbook-printed examples of Paladin mounts: one in S&F and one in DotF; the two conflict on many fundamental issues. The one in S&F adds the 4 to Natural Armor, the one in DotF sets the NA to 4. The one in S&F doesn't increase BAB correctly, either. And so on. Personally, I think this could easily go either way, and that really annoys me, because it means that one of the important features of your class is subject to the rules interpretation of the DM (well, all classes are subject to DM, but not in this way). If I can ever get the thing formatted correctly (stupid Word), I'll post my alt.Mount rules to the House Rules forum for comments. [/QUOTE]
