[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 1282516, member: 957"] FWIW, I am 100% with you here. (And if you have had to respond to this type thing frequently, that does influence my perception. ) I would disagree that this is a truism. If you add the words "to an existing character" or "to an existing campaign" then you are clearly correct. But that goes with any change in the rules. You just have to make a choice between versimiltude and updates. But that does not apply to the game as a whole. See, to me the term summoner implies much more than this. He can only call it once per day. So the tactical value is very limited. Calling a celestial mount from its celestial home is simply a convention. Like I said, I wish they did offer an OPTION to do it either way. Technically, I offer it in my game, but the old paladin died with no mount and no one has done a new one post 3.5. But what if the mount was not supposed to be so weak? It was not that the mount was a minor thing. It was that the mount was a significant thing that was frequently unavailable, thus unfairly punishing the class. This version makes that class feature more consitently available and thus maintains the power level of the class. [/QUOTE]
