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.

I have a halfling cavalier. Trying to figure if Trample will be benefical for his mount. Text says mount may make a hoof attack. Dogs and wolves don't make hoof attacks (Bite attacks).

Do they gain them or at least get them on overruns and if so how much damage for a dog or wolf "hoof attack"? Thanks in advavce.


I don't think taking this feat grants dogs, wolves or any other creature a hoof attack if they don't already have one.

So why did they give the "Trample" as an optional bonus feat in the Order of the Paw "Canine Ferocity"? An Order of the Paw has to be riding a Wolf or a Dog.

Even if you take a very literal reading of the its still effectively a ride by attack trip where you knock someone down.
