I am currently in process of getting a new player in my group, and am discussing with him the feasibility of certain types of PCs in the AP. He has asked about a mounted character - like a Paladin or Ranger/Fighter type. I'm not used to seeing mounted characters in my games (I'm quite fond of the "squeezing through tight spaces" encounters), and as such wonder about how focused on mounted combat a PC should be to allow him to not feel overly useless in large parts of the game (fighting on a ship, various dungeon crawls).
What advise/nudgings would you give to the player? Have you had mounted PCs in your STAP game, and if so, how did it turn out? Are there any glaring adjustments to the game that should be made to accomodate a mounted character?
