Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 3614785" data-attributes="member: 18280">Pokemount was defined differently in those threads.The argument was based (from my end, anyway) on the idea that, if one wanted the paladin's mount to represent Shadowfax, that there were better game mechanics to do it with than the ones provided in the SRD.  I even rewrote the Paladin's mount so that it had what I saw as the same essential features as the current one (i.e., there when you need it, not in danger when you do not) while removing the things I saw as problematical (disappearing to another plane, instantaneous arrival anywhere).My version, for example, could not be summoned in Moria, nor could it simply disappear with the Ring into another plane (thus keeping it out of the reach of Sauron forever), and it took a short (but existent) period of time to arrive when called.It wasn't an argument about the term pokemount, it was an argument about whether or not the specifics of pokemounts as described in D&D were the best possible description of pokemounts as seen in literature.Again, at least from my side.RCEDIT:  There was also a sub-argument about whether or not the Paladin's mount was the best SRD description of Shadowfax.  Ex:  Would Shadowfax as he appears in the novel be better described as an Animal Companion in the game?</blockquote>
