You are reading it correctly. You may use the armor, weapon, or mount, but once chosen you're stuck with it. It does say can, not must, and if you read more on the archtype, the divine defenders bond does not replace the normal paladins bond, simply offers a third bonding option. If it did in fact replace the other two bonding options, it would say so as it does with many other archtype abilities.

Thanks, that's good news.

Bondage, it's a Paladin thing.

Paladins: the most unintentionally kinky class.

I'll get right into it:

"At 5th level, instead of forming a bond with a weapon or a mount, a divine defender can form a bond with her armor."

My question is, according to this passage, is it adding the option to form a bond with armor, or is it replacing those choices and forcing you to form a bond with your armor? The wording is a bit vague and it doesn't explicitly say that it replaces or even modifies the divine bond ability.

I mainly ask because I love this archetype but I would like to still have a divine bond with the weapon in addition to the Shared Defense ability.
