Paladin mount quest

[masterzzan]

ok so every class that is missing a pnp class feat got something in return.
wizards got a free wiz feat instead of scribe scroll.
sorcerers got extra sp to represent the extra spell slots.
Rangers get both melee and ranged fighting forms( instead of just one) for their animal follower.
a 4th level paladin in pnp need to go on a quest to gain his special mount. in ddo, no trace of an alternative.
now with the artificers doggies barking in the streets and soon to be druids pets around every corner. I say it is time to get the Paladin's their mounts.

make a SOLO quest that can only be taken once in a paladin TR (like the dragon mark hall quest). that in it the Paladin need to pick his path ,for different mounts .like do this to get the griffin and that for the unicorn (traditionally only for females.but mehh) etc, at the end. after he gloriously finish his quest he get 1 spell added to his level 1 spells.or a feat." summon mount X" . to be used much like the artificer's call doggy ability. this mount will behave ether as a real mount. (yea you are going to see paladins running around on mounts .and the gnome druids on badgers soon). or at least as the artificers pets and help fight the good war.(advance in levels as well).

Virgins actually - doesn't have to be female.

Oh and as Paladins are traditionally Chaste Holy Warriors the chances are they all fit the profile.

oh i know.
i was trying to avoid the subject. just in case little Timmy will have questions for his mom and i will need to answer for her instead.

and in 2ed the unicorn had the "only virgin Female" rider. that later on 3ed changed to any gender to avoid being sued.

I'm not sure being sued is the concern (there is no right to not be offended), but perhaps they didn't want the PC Police to get them. That said, the following has some discussion of Unicorn Mounts, but should really be Off Topic. Dev Feather of the Sun even weighed in... Unicorn Mounts appear to be acceptable for the men too

First ed had "only virgin female elf" rider. They are slowly getting more permissive.

Would you want to be the one to write that code? The one that checks to see if somebody forgot which toon they were playing and suddenly your mount turns on you because you just had to sneak hump Cellimas in I dream of Jeets?

[masterzzan]

ok all this unicorn posts is missing the point of my op.
let the Paladin get their mounts or give them something in return for removing one of the class feats.

[Memnir]

In DDO Paladins got regenerating Smite Evils to compensate for the loss a mount, I thought.


Personally, I think it was a good exchange in a game where a mount is um... rather not needed.

[MsEricka]

No character class in DDO needs a mount

/not signed. ever.

Mounts.......Bluuuurk*

[Puppetian]

WoW is that way ->

[Shamurai]

My first and favorite character is a Paladin.. bout to TR into her 3rd pally Life.. but I just don't see the NEED for a mount. nothing is far away that we can't run there in under a minute or two.. so what would it do for us? They will NEVER give us a flying mount... (cuz that would be awesome!) Just gives us more DPS!!

[Uska]

There is no need for mounts and missing them doesnt really affect paladins and they should in no way make a quest just for one class

[salmag]

I would like to see an overland travel quest, wherein it's too far to walk and the party has to get mounts and ride to a specific location (maybe to save a virgin princess, hehehe). Along the way, they get ambushed and have to save themselves as well as their horse. If any horse dies, quest failure.

Just an idea.

[Zyerz]

Until the game becomes open world, mounts are completely out of the question. I'd personally would like to see open worlds smilar to LOTRO, with quick travel options for those in a hurry, but that is far from now. I read MOTU has bigger outdoor areas, and that's a step, but DDO is still making progress into having druids, companions, new worlds.... We'll get mounts someday, but not anytime soon.

Also, wizards do have inscribe scroll.

I think your wrong here and believing an urban legend

There is absolutely no reason to have mounts in DDO.

[Tsuarok]

Mounts are PnP. That is reason enough.

The lack of mounts in a fantasy setting is odd in any case.

Even if it's functionally just a house p time trinket with some nice graphics, I'd support the addition of mounts.

They got regenerating smites which are much more useful than a mount would be

[licho]

I dont want mount, and dont need. Also dont need "a pet" (but natural companion of rangers with CR>>4 would be nice).
I will pick "something instead".
Just a couple:
- Regenarating lays.
- 9 spells from tier 1-3 which will be useful for variety
- Some use of remove diseas for not HotD.
- Some more edge agains evil creatures in general rather than just EO&UD.
- Ability/spell to shield others.
- Some class feats at late levels (in similar ways as rogue)
- Increase the utylity of HotD, maybe with stealing RS aura/burst, or generally making from this some kind of battle healer.

Your wish is granted!
DDO Paladins are granted spell caster level equal to Paladin level, as opposed to PnP Paladins getting half Paladin level as caster level.

Oh, and the part about regenerating Smite Evil, although I'm not sure that was working in '06.
It has been a few years since I played my Paladin on Sarlona.

(Just a small problem with your idea/theory.
But the level to attain a Special Mount is Paladin level 5, not 4.
Per 3.5e PHB page 43 table 3-12, and page 45 concerning qualities of Special Mount.)
