Mount (Ex)
Source: Advanced Class Guide, p. 129
Replaces: Blessings
A divine commander gains the service of a loyal and trusty steed to carry her into battle. This mount functions as a druid’s animal companion, using the divine commander’s level as her effective druid level. The creature must be one that she is capable of riding and must be suitable as a mount. A Medium divine commander can select a camel or a horse. A Small divine commander can select a pony or a wolf, and can also select a boar or a dog if she is at least 4th level. (The GM might approve other animals as suitable mounts.)
A divine commander does not take an armor check penalty on Ride checks while riding this mount. The mount is always considered combat trained, and it begins play with Light Armor Proficiency as a bonus feat. A divine commander’s mount does not gain the share spells special ability. If a divine commander’s mount dies, she can find another mount to serve her after 1 week of mourning. This new mount does not gain the link, evasion, devotion, or improved evasion special abilities until the next time the divine commander gains a level. This ability replaces blessings.
