Ranged Attack with Charge in surprise round


Rules Questions


Got a few questions about mounted combat...Nekki is a halfling riding a Wolf with INT of 6 (as a Paladin's mount). This scenario is during a surprise round, so the charge represents a standard action to move normal range.Do these interpretations make sense? I see nothing in the CRB about ranged combat while a mount is charging?

Quote:

Nekki will charge to BD23. As she is charging, she will fire upon Goblin 13 (Single move action for the charge, so no penalty for mounted archery). Requires a DC 10 Ride check to be able to attack while mount is moving.

Ride check (DC 10) (1d20+7=25) Success

Attack roll on Goblin 13 (ranged attack) (1d20+6=11) (I hope that hits due to the surprize.)
Damage vs. Goblin 13 (1d4+4=6)

Kheldon attacks at the end of his charge (Goblin 12).

Kheldon attacks using Power Attack (1d20+3=8) (I forgot to add 2 for charging).
If I can, I'd like to try adding an action point for Kheldon's attack roll (if it can be pulled from Nekki's pool): Action point for Kheldon's attack (8+1d6=11) (If not, oh well).

If that hits, damage is:
Kheldon's damage; CMB for trip (1d6+3=9, 1d20+2=6)"

I don't see the issue. She made her Ride check to direct the wolf to attack, and she still gets her standard action. Your call if you want to inflict the usual -4 penalty to her attack for a double move; it'd be inflicted on a full-round charge (as that is a double move).
