"Special Mount" Help...


Advice


I feel like a bit of a fool for not knowing this, but do any other PFRPG/3.5 base classes (not looking for prestige classes at the moment), including from ANY third party materials, contain the "special mount" class feature that Paladin gets, or any feasibly analogous class feature (NOT including the likes of a Druid's Animal Companion)?

Thanks for any help, please let me know the source if you know of one!


The Blackguard from the 3.5 core rules may chose a horse or pony at 5th level. It is a PrC though, but a fallen Paladin could end up with nothing but Blackguard levels in theory.
The Cavalier from the APC gets a horse, but it acts as an Animal Companion.
A Summoner could take an Eidolon that's mountable.


And I forgot the Antipaladin from the APC.

Oracle of Nature (APG) also gets a bonded mount that works like an Animal Companion.

There's also the Cavalier from the Advanced Player's Guide. A Summoner (from the same book)'s Eidolon could conceivably be made into a mount.

The Leadership feat may also be an option for a mount as a cohort if your GM allows it, checking the "Monsters as Cohorts" section of Bestiary I and II, there's a few critters that might serve as possible mount cohorts.


So using the Leadership feat, could a character with 19 Charisma and a base level of 7 pick up a Dire Ape as a mount cohort? Is there an obvious better choice? Any ideas?

Same for a Cleric with the Animal Domain (level-3).


Wait, Animal Domain Clerics receive an analogous ability to "special mount"?

They get the Animal Companion ability (so one could pick a horse or camel) but start at 4th level (being a level-3 progression).
