[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 942372, member: 4779"] I've actually had the exact opposite experience as Henry. Every Paladin I have ever run for or played has had a mount and that mount was very special to the character. The only Paladin I ever played was lucky enough to get a unicorn mount which was quite cool. That aside, I have one PC who loves to play Paladins. His first Paladin character actually was given back his childhood horse that was recently killed in combat and it had enhanced stats. And the most recent character was going for a wardog as his character was a halfling. That would have worked for me. I mention this as support for both Lord P and Henry's points. As a DM it was not easy to run for those characters (and I'm assuming for mine as well) because I really didn't want to separate them from their mounts if I could help it as it reduced their effectiveness. Plus, the characters had affinity for their mounts. So, this new way of being able to have the mount be a summoned creature works on a few levels, making an assumption or 2:[list][*]The mount cannot be killed permanently. [*]It is still a god-given creature and is supernatural as it has always been.[/list]Still fits with the basic mount mechanic and makes it easier for PCs and DMs to deal with them. And those who may argue that a Paladin could abuse the whole 'summoned creature' aspect (in combat for example) is missing the point of playing a Paladin. Again, I like it. Lord P: I could see your idea being added [i]easily[/i] to the Paladin spell list. I may even incorporate it into my campaign world. Having it be a spell rather than an ability still limits it but gives the player the option of having it be available. [/QUOTE]
