I was thinking of creating a group of Marines (Fighters and Paladins)
who act as cavalry. Historically Marines were all foot soldiers rather than cavalry but only because horses were so difficult to transport.(They turned into nervous wrecks on long voyages)
But having a Spellcaster summon the mounts post landing, would make having trained cavalrymen a viable option as they won't have to wait for said mounts to calm down from the voyage. Of course senior Paladins don't have this problem.
Summon Monster/Nature's Ally don't last anywhere near long enough. The first level Wizard spell Mount is inadequate as it must be trained and equipped for war.
So what sort of Conjuration spell would be viable for the purpose of summoning warmounts? Anything in various splatbooks that I don't have? Or do I need to start Homebrewing?
