A friend of mine is considering a Megaloceros mount to go with his lance-wielding character. A few questions popped up.
1. During a mounted charge, does the mount get an attack as well as the rider?
2. If #1 is true, if the mount has 5ft reach, and a rider with a 10ft reach weapon, can both attacks occur in one charge attack?
3. If #2 is not possible, can the mount take the Lunge feat and give him the ability to do the simultaneous charge attack?
Thank you for your time, to any who respond.
I'm fairly certain that as long as you and your mount have the same reach you can both attack. Lunge seems to work, although I always liked using ride by attack and trample.

1. It can, if the rider orders the mount to attack using Handle Animal. If the mount attacks, the rider must succeed in a Ride check to use his own attacks.
2. By default, no.
3. There's more than one way around #2. Giving the mount Lunge or otherwise increasing its reach works, as does giving the rider Ride-By Attack.
