Unhorsed paladins

[Al'Kelhar]

Can anyone point me in the direction of an alternative paladin class which drops the summoned mount but in making up for the loss doesn't radically depart from the standard palaidn otherwise?

Thanks, Al'Kelhar

I gave the paladin an extra smite.

In a previous campaign, I dropped the Mount in favor of spontaneous healing.

I'd give out bonus feats, say one every 5 levels.

I've recently written an article for a french webzine on this subject.

It's an house-rule that give a 5th level paladin the opportunity to choose between a mount, an armour, a weapon, a symbol or a animal companion. It is an emblem of the Paladin Status.

The Mount Emblem is the same as the mount in PHB, and I made up a progression for each of the other Emblem.

This idea came out because the campaign setting we're talking about in the webzine is a ocean setting. A lot of paladin are spending more time aboard than on lands and mounts were clearly not as useful as they could be.
