Those who had their mounts take the Charger archetype so they could get heavier armor are also getting penalized.

It's a cool way to do it, but Pack Flanking does the same trick and works even when you're not riding, or when the target is larger than your mount. You can also take it earlier, assuming you have the 13 int or dip brawler.

A fair enough alternative. Sadly, I've only got a 9 int and I'm already dipping other options.

Note that both require you and your companion to threaten the same target. If you have a lance, you have reach but most companions do not. Axe Beak is one of the few exceptions that makes this viable for a reach weapon.

Charge after that kidney! (Character gets sneak attacks with that lance charge)

Something awesome that might bear getting added to the information at the start of the thread (if possible).

A teamwork feat called Blades Above and Below. It's from Inner Sea Races and requires a bab of +6. As long as you and your buddy (animal companion) are threatening the same target and different sizes, and the target is one of those sizes, you count as flanking.

Especially for a Hunter who picked Outflank as your precise feat and then give this through Hunter Tactics, it's a pretty potent feat.

I've got a Rogue/Hunter/Cavalier who's sharing it with his mount to get nearly permanent sneak attack.
