I could have sworn that there was official information in one of the sourcebooks on different mounts that Paladins can get as they gain higher levels and I went to look it up the other day and for the life of me I cannot find it. Specifically, there is a source that lists a Griffon as a suitable mount for an 8th level Paladin. Does anyone know where I might have read this?
Thanks!
There is a list in the DMG under Intelligent Mounts (I think).

I don't think that's the one I'm looking for. I specifically checked the DMG and didn't see what I was looking for. Hmm...
There was an entry under a Divine Sourcebook put out in 3.0, if I'm not mistaken. I believe the title was Defenders of Faith, but don't hold me to that. I remember at one point thinking "Wow, a high enough level paladin can get a lion for a mount." so I'm pretty sure it was this book.
A bit from my Horde
Dragonlvr has it.
Page 13 of Defenders of the Faith (softcover "splat" book.)
Ack! This is killing me! No, I'm fairly certain it was in a 3.5 hardbound book. If not core three (which I'm pretty sure it isn't), then it would have to be Complete Divine, Complete Warrior, Complete Arcane, Complete Adventurer, Complete Champion, Complete Mage, Complete Scoundrel, Unearthed Arcana, Book of Exalted Deeds, Players' Handbook 2, DMG 2...or...*wracks brain*...something like that.
I know I didn't dream this. It was a list, and it had Hippogriffs as an option at 6th Level, Griffons at 8th, I think it may even have listed some aquatic animals for those who are so inclined. And I'm (fairly) sure it was 3.5.
:-(
I've searched through my books and couldn't find it in anything but Defenders of Faith, though I don't have the Complete Champion so it could be in there. But the exact table you were talking about, hippogriffs at 6th, griffons at 8th and aquatic mounts are on that table. Page 13 of Defenders of Faith. I need to get Complete Champion, and if I can get it soon I'll check and see if its in there for you.

Hmm. Thanks, Dragonlvr. I'll have to take a look at Defenders of the Faith when I get home this evening. I could have sworn it was in a 3.5 hardbound...but this could explain why I couldn't find it.
Does anyone know if there have been any updates in 3.5 to optional Paladin Mounts?
Dude, it's the DMG, pg. 204-205. There's another table a few pages before dealing with mounts in general and the leadership feat, and how a paladin's mount interacts with said rules. Then you turn the page and Bam! The list updated to 3.5. No leadership feat required. Just level minimums (and a note that Unicorns only accept female paladin riders).

GAH!!!!! I checked DMG2 but not the 3.5 DMG. I didn't even think about it being in there after the 3.5 update. Thanks Vigil.

Thanks Vigil for the page numbers. For a second there I was starting to feel like I was "taking crazy pills".

That's it! I knew it was 3.5! I don't know how I missed it...I checked the index and even looked at that page! I think *was* recalling the format from Defenders of the Faith. Thanks everyone!
I'm just glad I didn't stir up any controversy regarding a certain Paladin from Sandpoint...

That would have involved a different type of mounting issue.
