Under LG rules would devoted tracker allow a ranger/paladin to use one of the rangers animal companion choices as its paladin special mount ?

That was rather simple.. how about adding Arcane Heirophant to the build.. not it gains the familiar bonuses, so its a smart/tough paladin mount which you can summon for x hrs per day. (prob not much since you mutted yourself so much away from effective paladin levels). Lets get to the really difficult questions... (I dont know myself).. Can you take a class that grants a mount (similar to Paladin Mount), and use it in these combinations?

The next question that arises however ... If the feat does restrict you to paladin mount choices (you cant take a wolf for example) and just adds improved companion bonuses it does nothing with 4 levels of ranger you need 6 ranger for anything to happen. This makes beastmaster tempting ... now clearly a level of beastmaster will stop your paladin progression permanently but given it adds to the ranger animal level would this carry across to the combined paladin mount ???

In theory, you could go Pal 5/Beastmaster 1 (taking Track at 1st), and take this feat. Hmmmmm.... I do not think so .. the feat specifically mentions the paladin and ranger classes.
