So, the second type of Divine Bond Reads:
The second type of bond allows a paladin to gain the service of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal steed to serve her in her crusade against evil. This mount is usually a heavy horse (for a Medium paladin) or a pony (for a Small paladin), although more exotic mounts, such as a boar, camel, or dog are also suitable. This mount functions as a druid's animal companion, using the paladin's level as her effective druid level. Bonded mounts have an Intelligence of at least 6.
Naturally, I don't understand the 'at least' part.
I have read threads about raising an animal or mount's INT later, but this seems to imply that right when you first get the mount, it will have an Intelligence somewhere between 6 and beyond.
Is it supposed to be JUST 6?
It means if the bonded beast has an intelligence of least than 6 then it is increased to that.
In the situation that the creature bonded has an intelligence higher than 6 it won't be lowered.
