Paladin Mount - Cohort

[pinkbee]

So how does one calculate the level of a cohort mount without the cohort level adjustments? I was interested in creating a flying mount for a level 9 paladin, but I am not sure which creatures would be available, or how the mount would level as a cohort mount.

Until we get the Bestiary which comes out next month or so I can't really answer your question fully. I know in the Bonus Bestiary they had the rules for the Dragonnes as mounts and how the Leadership feat works in that case, but don't know about any others.

Dragonnes as Mounts
A character with the Leadership feat can take a dragonne as a mount using the animal companion rules. Such characters must have an effective druid level of 10th. A character with a dragonne mount counts as 4 levels lower when determining the abilities and statistics of the dragonne (meaning that the character’s effective druid level is 6th for determining abilities when the dragonne is first acquired). Taking a dragonne in this way counts as the character’s cohort.

Thanks. I was looking at the Axe Beak when I made this post, and although it can be used as a mount it doesn't have any of the same adjustments for leadership mentioned. I guess I will just be patient!
