Since this ability is locked, I thought it would be a neat idea if instead summoning a horse for aid, that the paladin could summon a unique holy summon depending on the paladins god.
For instance
Helm - Celestial defender
Tyr - Celestial inquisitor
Ilmater - Holy pain-bearer
And so on..
I love paladins. Far and away my favorite class. That being said, I think they're mechanically set and don't really need any kind of buff.
What could be cool, though, is if something like this could take the place of the special perk that is out there. Not to say that we should get rid of that perk, but perhaps add this as some kind of option/ alternative to it.
I think its a cool idea to do something with the ability.
How about it summons a Squire which is not necessarily combat focussed but more of a RP item
Which could like sharpen your sword with a whetstone and polish your armour
