[Well, there was nothing stopping an archer warlord from buying a horse]. The idea of the bow wielding paladin isn't really something that they looked to be going for. I'm not even sure why they bothered to giving it to the cavalier, but at least it's possible to do a cavalier multiclassed into archer warlord now ... you'd lack the class feature that makes the bow use strength for ranged basic ... and you'd probably need two feats to get a warlord encounter power (assuming they eventually make a 'replace holy smite with encounter power' feat like they did for fighter's and rogue's, etc). Or if you go paladin/warlord hybrid you can just grab a greatbow as a single feat and miss out on RBA's, or take the archer warlord option and use Hybrid Talent to get scale and plate prof. True, it sucks you can't get the horse, but they probably wanted that to be an iconic cavalier thing (and likely will make the blackguard's servant into a non-leveled utility when they get around to it).</p></blockquote><p></p>
