I'd make "acquire special mount" a general feat and "celestial mount" a paladin-only feat (gives mount celestial template and pokemount ability). Draw the other options from the PHB2 shield chain, the mounted combat chain, divine feats, iron will, great fortitude, and some other stuff.* Kill the multiclassing restriction; paladins aren't an uber-class* To reduce MAD - Make them a Cha-based caster, with warmage-style spontaneous casting - Give them the ability to ignore the movement rate penalties of heavy armor eventually</blockquote>
