I'm building a mounted ranger and was looking at the Heel ability from the Skirmisher archetype.
Heel (Ex): The ranger can use this trick as an immediate action when his animal companion moves. When the companion moves, the square it starts out in is not considered threatened by any opponent it can see, and therefore visible enemies do not get attacks of opportunity against it when it moves from that square. The companion must end this movement in a square adjacent to the ranger. The animal companion must be able to see and hear the ranger to take this movement.
The ability is triggered whenever my companion moves so no problem here. But that move needs to end in a square adjacent to my character. My question is quite simple, if I am mounting my companion during the move, does that count?
The idea here is quite obvious, It would allow me and my mount to escape tight spots without AoO...
