[QUOTE="Danzauker, post: 984117, member: 1929"] Well. I like mount this way more than the old. Yes, it reeks of Poke all he way, but it's less intrusive. Many times I did not play a Paladin because my DM told us it was going to be a very dungeon-heavy campaign (we discuss the general theme of a campaign before starting, so that everybody can choose classes accordingly - nobody likes to be a druid in the desert!) and having a horse to carry around in underdark caverns and crevasses was a little unnerving. With the new rule admittedly all the problems of having a major class ability relying on carrying a large creature around are solved. Then it's a matter of giving the mechanic aspects a bit of flavour. I'd sure prefer the whistle thing calling a la Lone Ranger than throwing a ball and shouting "Silvermane! I choose you!!" BTW, a guy on the Kargatane website's forum suggested an intriguing flavour variant: instead of "calling" the mount the Paladin would "transfigure" an ordinary horse in his special mount. Battlecat anyone? [/QUOTE]
