Paladin on Mount + Imp. Evasion

[Hjorimir]

The question is, if the paladin's warhorse has improved evasion, does the paladin benefit while mounted?

No.

Might have fun describing the flavour text for that situation...

Obviously, the Mount evades the blast by sticking the paladin in the way...

There's a proverb in Germany akin to: "Better know soon who's the mount and who's the rider..."

Easy: The lawful good one is the paladin, and the neutral one with no qualms about kicking his partner in front of the lightning bolt is the mount.

to answer you question yes the palidon would gain from his mount. there would be a ride & balance check if he passed them then he is safe if he fails the ride and balance check he is then thrown to the ground and negates his own save . crispy palidons allways fun

... sounds like an interesting House Rule, but I can't see any support for... well, any of it in the RAW...

The question is, if the paladin's warhorse has improved evasion, does the paladin benefit while mounted?

It depends as it says:

Share Saving Throws: For each of its saving throws, the mount uses its own base save bonus or the paladin’s, whichever is higher. The mount applies its own ability modifiers to saves, and it doesn’t share any other bonuses on saves that the master might have.

Improved evasion, you or mount Might atempt to save, which ever is best.

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a mount takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage if the saving throw fails.

If the save is successful, no damage, if unsuccessful then half!

I would think if the mount tries to saves, without rider wanting to or unknowing, then a ride check, if ride check fails rider unsaddled.

If the rider is trying to keep from using the Imporved Evasion, handle animal check to control mount.
