Small Paladin Mount (PFS Core)

[Grumiō Grumiōnis]

Per the CRB, a small paladin typically uses a pony as a mount (divine bond), but other animals may be chosen instead, such as a dog or boar. Can I take a cheetah (Cat, Small) as a mount? According to its description under druid's animal companions, it is a medium creature at 5th level, and it is approximately the same shape as a pony, dog or boar.

For PFS, No, you can only choose from the listed options.

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.

(emphasis mine)

So, "such as" means "only"? Ah, well, I guess I'll go with the boar.

For the purposes of PFS, yes.

Clearly that needs to be changed. I don't like that rule, and nothing could possibly be more important than my whims.
