Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ridley's Cohort" data-source="post: 2961367" data-attributes="member: 545">I will agree that the mandatory mount is probably a bad idea because abilities whose potency is so campaign dependent should be taken as a feat or an optional class feat.I think the mount is rather strong for lower levels (6HD at 5th level -- fights better than most PCs!), but on the weak side (12 HD) at high levels.  But taking Leadership and getting a Cohort Special Mount largely solves that second issue.In principle, your winged Half-Celestial should choose an advanced mount that also has wings.  But LA does hurt you here -- a ~6HD griffon is not going to be useful in a level 12+ party.  We also need some feats like Natural Bond to allow you an opportunity to reparit the gulf cause by the LA.  Leadership might be good enough.I agree that advanced mounts (and animal companions) are bizarrely potent compared to the normal class boosted standard animals.Yup.  Probably should sub this for something more appropriate.  My DM let my Paladin sub Magic Circle vs. Evil.  I would advocate Mark of Justice as a flavorful and fun alternative.Hmm.  Some good points.  But what I like about the as is system is there is synergy with Bless Weapon.  I would like more of the Paladin abilities to feel like an integrated whole.You would seem to be thinking in terms of a revamping of Favored Enemy and giving some of the benefits to the Paladin for a restricted list.  I can see merit to that approach.Yes.  A missed opportunity to make the class mechanics more seamless IMO.</blockquote>
