Does anybody know any good abilities to sub in for the Special Mount? The character is more of the foot soldier type, but I don't know if this ability is worth getting rid of for anything else. It will free up a lot of skill points, feats, time, and money (no need for Mounted Combat feats, ranks in Ride, no 30-day wait after death, no need for barding), but the only variants I've seen that seem worth looking at are Sword of Celestia (Dragon Magazine), which basically gives a free weapon, powering up from +1 to a +2 Holy Lawful weapon for free; the other is Charging Smite, which lets you add twice your Paladin level to a Smite Evil attempt if you Smite Evil at the end of a charge. Any better ideas, or should I just keep the mount and specialize in mounted combat?2. I never really liked Turn Undead too much. I played a Cleric with more emphasis on combat, so I kind of dumped my Cha score. Turn Undead is kind of situational, but I acknowledge that it works in a pinch. My Paladin will have a high Cha score regardless, but I need to know if there's anything I could dump the ability for, or if I should just keep it.3. Feat chains, anybody?4. Ability scores. So far, a Human Paladin (with 28-Point Buy) looks like this to me - Str 16, Dex 8, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 12, Cha 16. Any better ideas? I'll be taking a position in the front lines, I'll be using uber-heavy armor and a heavy shield, keep that in mind. I want to put a bit of emphasis on damage, though - I'll probably end up using a Bastard Sword, unless anybody has a better idea. Also, don't worry about the Wis score - I'll have it up to 14 by the time I hit the 4th-level spell range.5. Just general suggestions.Thanks!</blockquote>
