Greetings... i have been playing this game for so long that it is somewhat a part of myself and i would like to salute all those that feel the same.

I have a problem.
I play a human paladin8/fighter4... surviving each night we play is a challenge since we're playing a CR15 adventure... but that is going well... apart from burying one or two party members per week... and i just got lvl 13 last week.
Long ago my char found a deck of cards and he was brave enough (really dumb move) to use some of the cards and to trust in Lady Fate (Tymora should be less ironical and my trust in Tyr made me... proud... so i felt it would be OK)... the cards i took gave me:
- black raven wings, so i now fly 60' (good),
- they increased my size to Large while improving my HPs... got +4 con plus size "improvement"... which gave me +8 str, +4 con, -2 dex... and all the other usual changes...
- the next card allowed me to swim like a fish and breath underwater with move 40'...
So it seems i got a paladin for all environments... air, water and land...

Along the path i got a heavy fort breastplate +2, a buckler+1 (that was a small shield+1, but with current size...), my heavy war horse lance didnt grow so now i use it like a shortspear... nor did my axiomatic greataxe +3... so now it is one handed... last week one of the party members gave me a sunblade which i cannot use two handed due to my size but still will do considerable damage to any undead or negative plane native (x2)... hum, i also have a talisman of pure good and a piece of jewlery that makes me immune to poison (although i think that was too cheap...), and last i use a regeneration ioun stone that changes all damage to non-lethal except fire/acid... for healing i got a wand of cure moderate wounds... and last week our minotaur died and i ended up with his amulet... it turned him into a human... i dislike it but sometimes i am forced to use it so our mages, sorcerors and clerics are able to teleport the whole party and i would dislike to be a hindrance (which i know i am, since i am their conscience...)

My character weaknesses would be death spells and level draining resist... for that i have my cohort, a female halfling, lvl 11 cleric of Kelemvor. Which i carry in my military backpack right bellow my black wings... and together we might survive another night in the Planes...

So here is my question... being a level 8 paladin allows me to have a special mount, but being large forces me to have a Huge mount... so far the only one i found was a huge artic cat, but to get it i would need to train this new level and become a psionicist...

ARE THERE ANY OTHER HUGE MOUNTS?
(pardon my yelling, but i have been searching for 2 weeks now)

Thank you for reading my post and i hope it helped other large paladins that are now riding huge snakes or vermin (yuk!)

Sounds like a good question for the "Character Optimization" forum.
