If I'm reading this correctly, it means as long as you're riding, you're sharing a space with your mount and thus both of you no longer provoke attacks of opportunity while moving. Is this really as good as it sounds or am I missing something?</p>
<p><b>Horsemaster's Saddle</b>
<br />
This ornate military saddle, tooled with an elaborate equine motif, grants the mount a +5 competence bonus on Acrobatics checks and the mount's rider a +5 competence bonus on Ride checks. In addition, the mount gains the benefits of any teamwork feats possessed by the rider.</p>
<p><b>Escape Route (Combat, Teamwork)</b>
<br />
You have trained to watch your allies’ backs, covering them as they make tactical withdraws.</p>
<p>Prerequisite: none</p>
<p>Benefit: An ally who also has this feat provokes no attacks of opportunity for moving through squares adjacent to you or within your space.</p>This combination seems rather powerful for mounted warriors.

Is there an official ruling regarding STR bonuses? Do lances give a +50% STR bonus damage wielded in one hand, while mounted? I'm not referring to Charge (the 2x bonus), but rather the bonus given to all weapons from Strength. Lances seem to fall in a gray area, as the clarification with Power Attack demonstrates.I recently noticed the following in the FAQ:

I am VERY glad you all convinced me to take the second array. I was the only level 1 at the table of 2s and 3s. At the start of the adventure, the group voted to play tier 3-4. We had a seriously brutal fight that killed one character and nearly killed two others. My little level 1 dodged every hit and managed to yank the reins to avoid a big swing at my wolf. One hit would've flattened either one of us, so the fight was a bit of a nail-biter. I also enjoyed the social part of the scenario. Thanks again for the advice :).</p>My first PFS game was a blast.
