I love the new paladin, although I hope my reading here is incorrect. Is the paladin unable to cast Heal Mount on his or her mount after 15th level?
Heal Mount is designed for the specific and sole purpose of healing a paladin's mount, but post 15th, "a paladin's mount gains spell resistance equal to the paladin's level + 11."
This looks to me as though it would be a difficult roll to make.
Is this intended? I'm surprised in any case. Maybe they meant for Spell Resistance: No, given it's a paladin-specific spell, made for a specific intent? Is there something I'm overlooking?
The spell resistance thing for that particular spell may well be an editorial oversight, although even if it's not, there's always this...
A creature can voluntarily lower its spell resistance. Doing so is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Ehh... Now, if memory serves, an intelligence score of 6 should give the mount the ability to understand all verbal commands of a given language (although I'm not sure if that language would be Common or Celestial in this case), so if a paladin just asked his pony nicely, he wouldn't have to worry about the spell resistance.
Nevertheless, this course of action would still be inconvenient if performed in the thick of combat, since you'd lose a standard action for the mount, and leave it vulnerable to other magical effects for a round...

Thanks for the reply. :)
I'm thinking they just let it off, since there's only one creature it works on. SR: no would make more sense, and go with intent, I would think.
Thanks again.
