[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 808908, member: 707"] DoTF has a table which describes the rate at which a dragon mount advances as a mount (which is later than other less powerful mounts). The question of what the dragon does with the half-share of XP it gets is never addressed. The cohort part of the equasion serves as a limiter on how soon a paladin can summon such a mount and how powerful that mount can be (i.e. a young bronze dragon is ECL 11 for the purposes of the Leadership feat, and thus cannot become a cohort [and thus a mount] until the paladin is at least 12th-level.) For anyone with the DMG handy: DoTF references a chart on page 45 of the DMG that lists Unusual Cohorts, and says to use that as a guide for what sorts of creatures to allow as cohorts and at what cost. Can someone give me the rundown of that chart? I'm starting to come to the conclusion that there are basically two paths to take here: A) Wait until 6th, 7th, or 8th level, and get a more powerful paladin's mount as outlined in DoTF, with no feat cost. B) Get an Unusual Cohort (as per pg45 of the DMG) and have it also serve as your mount. It must still be a legal cohort (per the Leadership rules) before Paladin Mount bonuses are applied. This costs a feat, but can provide you with a substantially more powerful mount, while subtracting a separate cohort. Other thoughts? [/QUOTE]
