Message: <blockquote data-quote="Destil" data-source="post: 556900" data-attributes="member: 1980">The last one is clearly borderline, I'm well aware of it. There's a lot of reasoning behind it:a) Command others of it's kind is better than you may think at first. It can make an even fight between two mounted opponents completely lopsided, for instance. It's usable once per day per two paladin levels. The mount is the one using the spell like ability, giving you a big boost (you can both take a standard action... add in mass haste and...)b) While I stated that it's traded for the specific command others ability it's also a nod towards the general increase in power over time from a mount.c) I assumed that the paladin would be using their war horse quite a bit, as much as a paladin of the church of Aetha will be fighting undead. An extra undead bane weapon in the party (since it's only +1, I suspect it'll be going to other PCs often, an anti-undead paladin should have better by now) will be nothing compared to what a spirited charge with a holy lance could do. Also magic weapon doesn’t have a very long duration.d) It's a nice gift to a PC who forgoes the possibility of a full 10 levels in a prestige class in favor of a base class, like a rogue's special abilities.e) One third level spell per day generally won't do much to balance at 11th level.</blockquote>
