Of course mounts that are better than a horse usually require a higher level paladin than the minimum to call a horse so you might not get that dire bear till say +2/lvs higher than the min (I think that's 4th).2) Again this is up to your DM. Sure, where it's appropriate and a bear certainly could fit into most areas you would go, the bear could accompany you and fight. Keep in mind that the more place you can take it, the more valuable your mount would be and the higher the level you would have to be before you can take it.3) You leave it outside with your squire and the rest of the party's horses. It doesn't just "go away", though for convenience sake, most GMs just sort of ignore the issue. A paladin's warhorse though being more inteligent and such could concievably watch over the horse and take care of it's self though.4) Read the mounted combat rules and weapons descriptions.5) Well, our paladin's dire wolf saved our bacon by ambushing and killing Nightscale when she tried fleeing out through the lake in the Forge of Fury. We thought she'd gotten away, but the Paladin got a note passed to him by the GM and got a big grin on his face. Took a couple of min to get around to telling us and let us sweat some first.</blockquote>
