In an upcoming game I'm running, one of my players wants to play an Orc Paladin (likely the Rebalanced Paladin (http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=761045)) and is interested in getting a mount. However, he insists, Orcs do not ride horses. They ride wolves.
Obviously in this comic we've seen a case of this (Hinjo and Argent), but I can't seem to locate any hard-and-fast rules on different mounts (the SRD doesn't appear to have anything beyond some suggestions). Can I just substitute a Dire Wolf for a Heavy Warhorse? That doesn't quite seem balanced to me, but they also suggest giving Aquatic Paladins a shark, which is also more savage than a horse.
How does one handle this, aside from using Cohort rules (which I recall are somewhere and have rules for combining cohorts with special mounts).
