This sounds like it is quickly going into the scenario I read once where someone convinced their DM to let them take an intelligent (i.e., has access to PC classes) creature as a Paladin mount... which they then immediately had class into Paladin with another intelligent being as its mount. :P

This is a level 20+ campaign. In Pathfinder, the minimum intelligence a paladin's mount can have is 6. After throwing items at the horse, it gained quite a bit of intelligence.

Unlike everyone else, I was not content to just sit on my mountain of gold, and saw fit to bling out my horse as well.

Everyone else just grabs what would help them optimize, while I try to stay at least somewhat well-rounded.

The talk of intelligent horses and rules abuse make me think of the part in the Tangled movie when the male protagonist is sword-fighting Maximus.

When I saw that, I totally thought "That's exactly the sort of slip up a GM would make, use the horse's stats but still use the sword's damage die, since that's what all the other guards have been using."
Hence, sword-fighting horses.

Psh, the correct answer to "what should I do with this mountain of gold" should never be "sit on it". When in doubt, you should begin to augment your inventory with everything listed on the "things you can buy chart", utilizing bags of holding (or handy haversacks if you can get them) to augment yourself. A 13 STR character in pathfinder can carry something like 1,200lbs (or 120 cubic feet) of crap without breaking light encumbrance while not having to worry about attacks of opportunities when retrieving anything! (An 18 STR character could carry double that).

And if you really wanted to be prepared you'd take about 200lbs of that and use it to store empty haversacks that you could take out and fill in the event of a carrying space emergency at the cost of a ENC penalty (you couldn't put them back till you emptied them, but you could store them while empty in the basic rules). An 18 STR character willing to go all of the way to heavy loading could hypothetically chop up an adult elephant into 2 ft^3 and 8 ft^3 chunks and carry it with them while still being able to move. 2 such characters could do the same to and adult dragon.

And only for the low, low cost of 120k gp per 18 STR character! That's only a little over 1/8th of your starting gold as a level 20 character! :P

That reminds me about the character cameo in the Silvershiftclaw campaigns, where one player meets their previous character (who was a kleptomaniac with bags of holding literally everywhere) who acted as a portable merchant, holding an insane amount of stuff.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

For some reason I've got a stable connection at home--which I hope will last for more than the twenty minutes currently had.

Which I doubt :/ Which is starting to show...

But that is a surprise in itself considering...recent events. :-\

I am thankful though. Yay, I get to send reports and needed things!

Edit: Wow that speed. :o

That's a campus fibre connection going to a server down the street. If I want to connect to anything worthwhile it's still slow as balls.

Still, big numbers.

It's deceptively simple.  They say all the prices end in nine.  Which is, like, pretty good observational humor.  Companies so often end prices in X.99 to cheat our efficient mental subroutines of a dollar.  It works.  Buuuut, the background is full of prices which end in... 5.  95, but still.

FFS.

Sounds like snowplow parents; they'll everything and anything to clear the way to their offspring's success, often to the detriment of everyone else - including the offspring.
