Special mounts improving in diffrent ways?
I've had an application to my Wyrmtale game who has requested to play a paladin whose mout is a lion.
That paladin is a medium character so that's where the problem steams from.
The DMG has rules stating how new mount types can be selected, specically they must be one category larger (among other non-relevent things here).
A lion IS one category larger, but as Dhin stated (and I quote):
So I was thinking perhaps to allow the paladin in question to start with a youngling Dire lion, whom while being considerably larger then a normal lion (though not outside the large size category), we'll have more or less the same traits.
As the paladin inceases in level that lion will grow larger and older, until he develops into a full dire lion (at paladin level 8), at which point the DMG guidelines for a Dire Lion kicks in as normal.
Could this prove unbalancing (and yes, I've taken into accout the pounch ability *shiver*)? could the idea improved upon? do you think this is a copyright infrigments of He-Man ( )?

A dire lion (still large) could at 3500 lb do it with ease. So basically I'd say any large animal under 700 lb would be too small, even if the rider was a dwarf (smallest medium sized demi-human).
