#2 mellored Apr 15, 2015 13:48:39	No direct effect.   But a few things, like forbidence and protection from good and evil, targets groups like that.
#3 Raijin411 Apr 15, 2015 14:34:40	Cool, thanks mate Guess it can add the benifit of some cool looks for the mount though (like glowing eyes)
#4 Badger2k Apr 17, 2015 13:08:34	I believe it also ties in with which vow the paladin took. I doubt a paladin with a vow of valor would ride a fiendish mount...

#8 EmpactWB Apr 18, 2015 1:15:06	And Divine Sense won't pick up a fey mount, which might be situationally useful (if you're up against one, or if the Paladin keeps spooking himself with a 'false positive' every time he uses it to see if there's anything unusual about).

I have a player who really wants a Wyvern, so that surprise is coming. In order to restrict that in my game, I'm using a level based/story based requirement for the mounts. Unless given by divine providence, my paladins cannot Find Steeds that they have not ever seen or cannot imagine. They also cannot summon a flying mount unless they have an actual need for it. This is more because the world is almost dark-ages intelligence and they would be hanged as witches for even doing anything magical. It's about to get nitty gritty with spell casting and long rests because of a great rift that's about to "exhaust everyone" by implementing the Gritty Realism healing traits in the DMG (Long rest is 7 days, short rest is 8 hours). It's the end of the world as we know it.
