hide in plain sight ex: use hide skill even if observed except natural daylight, daylight spell

Shadow Blend (Su): In any conditions other than full daylight, a shadow creature can disappear into the shadows,
giving it total concealment. a daylight spell will negate this ability

Daylight (Su): Half-celestials can use a daylight effect (as the spell) at will.

melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD (maximum of +20) against an evil foe.

With those mental stats it's a sentient creature. This should make it eligible for class levels, so pick one that gives fast movement like monk or barbarian. though that may require DM approval.

Plane
Extraplane
Extraplanar

Ugh. One of the worst spellings for me; although after a few years I finally learned that it's an A. :smallyuk:

Also, why Half-Celestial, if I may ask? Is it for the Fly Speed=Land SpeedX2?

[karkus]

How about you swap out those horseshoes for these (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Horseshoes_of_Speed) ones?

And I think that Expeditious Retreat (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Expeditious_Retreat) can be Permanencied (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Permanency)...

There's also a Heritage Feat on page 37 of the Planar Handbook that grants +30' to Fly speed.

That's about all I can get right now... :smallsigh:

[relytdan]

karkus: Feats: Air Heritage - Horseshoes of speed + Charging could work a little better. Permanency a 5th lvl wiz/sor spell, that in phb does not list Expeditious Retreat as an option. - why Half-Celestial, yes this was 1 of the reasons, some of the other abilities as well, but if you know of another template that does a lot of the same stuff - do share - and yep Extraplanar - so I guess I failed the spell check.

almightycoma: Int 12 base of 10 for straight Pegasus - Pegasi cannot speak, but they understand Common. so please do explain how to make it eligible for class levels, that this is possible, what source & page.

so an increase of 20ft speed so far -

[almightycoma]

I don't have a source or page but here is my thinking. sentient creatures are smart enough to be trained in classes right? class levels don't apply to just bipedal creatures, example(centaurs and dragons). If its the they cant talk thing that might be stopping them there as to be like a dozen ways around that with magic. Like a said though it may require approval. idk if those are standard rules or just the way the tables I play at run things.

[relytdan]

ok so as with anything I guess a dm could allow for it, but this is an effort at a non-class allowed animal mount, any other sugestions on how to make the npc animal mount better and or faster than this configuration?

[almightycoma]

I know there are rules for custom magic items that mimic feats. get/make one that gives you dash for +5 move speed.
edit: if traits are allowed there is the quick trait +10 move speed for -1HP per HD

[relytdan]

first off - Wish folks would actually read everything in the post before commenting -

almightycoma - would have seen the Quick trait that is listed, as for the item creation for feats there is a sidebar only that shows an explaination for it but nothing very detailed like what is listed in the DMG for other magic item creations.

-So I ask yet again is there a template, item, or feat, to make the Pegasus Mount better, do more or faster ?

[ShurikVch]

Is it for TO or for actual game?
What is this Pegasus: character, cohort, mount, encounter?
Is there any level limit?

[relytdan]

its set at 8 hd as mount for a PC who will have it war trained and appropriate exotic saddle - must be a Pegasus - can have upto 3 templates
and equipment is just renamed for appropriate horse wear locations that I can think of.
