10-23-04, 02:42 AM Ok, here's the situation: One of my pc's (a relatively experienced player and DM) is playing a Paladin 3/rogue 1. He's asked if, when he gets to 5th level paladin, he can forego the mount for something else (my choice). I don't like being too limiting to my players, as the whole point of the game is to have fun, and I don't see the mount rule as a requirement. Any ideas as to what might be a fair trade off?

Thanks!

10-23-04, 03:09 AM perhaps the Item Familiar feat from Unearthed Arcana would be a decent trade off. AND it could slowly work up into being a Holy Avenger!

10-23-04, 12:10 PM Hmmm, sadly, I do not have UA. However, once I read that rule, I may be able to work something out along those lines. I've already taken the dbl scimitar found during shadows, and altered it a bit (based on the fact that it had a horse in it) and made it useable only by paladins (not elves), with a couple of minor tweaks (such as a CHA check DC 20ish) to get in good with the horse, thereby opening the swords powers. Perhaps I could make this the 'item familiar'....
