Mounted Archer (Ex)

At 4th level, the samurai becomes skilled at firing ranged weapons while mounted. A samurai only takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls with ranged weapons while his mount takes a double move. This penalty increases to –4 while his mount is running.


I think the fact that it says "halved" and then outlines what halved normally means indicates that the two effects stack. I also seem to recall it being mentioned in another thread that they stack. (That is -1 for double move, -2 for running.)


I just wanted to make a thread asking the same when I remembered to first use the search function.

I would think that it works as Pharmalade said. Any other opinions on this?
