Animal charge and trample ability


Advice

Liberty's Edge

I can't find anything about this so i apologise beforehand if this has been addressed before, and would like a link if so

I want to ask if my cavalier's mount with trample ability, and the charge through feat would be able to apply its trampling ability as part of the charge when it moves over a target on its path to the intented target of the charge ?

No. Because trample is a full round action per the Universal Monster rules in the Bestiary.

Do you mean the Trample ability, or the Trample feat? They're two different things technically. I know it's odd that they'd call it the same word. If it's the trample feat, then yes. If not, no, because of what Andrew said above.

When making a charge, you can attempt to overrun one creature in the path of the charge as a free action.

Trample feat wrote:

Trample (Combat)

While mounted, you can ride down opponents and trample them under your mount.

Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat.

Benefit: When you attempt to overrun an opponent while mounted, your target may not choose to avoid you. Your mount may make one hoof attack against any target you knock down, gaining the standard +4 bonus on attack rolls against prone targets.

You're attempting to Charge Through, you're attempting to overrun.

ok thx for the answers
so a trampling animal would only be good to move around where i dont have room for a charge.
