Paladin and his mount

[Trizt]

Hi everyone

I'm sorry that this message aren't related to BR, but it's still AD&D.
I hope all answer will come as private e-mail to me (trizt@iname.com).

A player of mine is runing a FR-campaign and one of the player
characters is a paladin to Tyr.
He waited to call for his mount untill he was level 6 (most of the
adventures has been around waaterdeep area plus som undermountain). The
problems is that the DM don't know what he will give as mount (the
campaign has been a bit high magic, so a normal horse isn't what he
thinks is right and a dragon would be a bit to powerful).
So if someone here on the list has good suggestions for a mount, please
write to me.

In my own campaigns, I have always like the paladin "equerry" kit - from the
paladins handbook. Especially as seen as i tend to play a bit on the
"lethal" side.
Anyway - as a suggestion..
If flying mounts are allowed, try a griffon, for a land mount... maybe a
great lion as seen as Tyr, or maybe an Oliphant as seen as your cmpaign
appears a bit "high magic"

My suggestion is to try make up a mount. Have it be a product of some kind of
experimentation by an evil wizard or priest. Make it intelligent and perhaps
have speach? This makes a nice support NPC. The mount could protect the
horses, bigger equipment and such of the other characters while the group is
in town or in a dungeon or adventureing in a tower/ruins. It also give the
Paladin something that equals the 2/1 specialist attacks that a normal fighter
gets about at this time.

Griffon, hippogrif, pegasus, or anything else that's roughly the size of a
horse and flies.
