Note: I'm putting this at lv. 20, which may not fully show how powerful it is, given how Wizards can own the universe at lv. 16 and up.
Anyways.
With my love of wolves I've wanted to make a Wolf-Rider that wasn't outclassed by something else.
I believe I may have succeeded.
The Mammoth Rider Prestige Class allows for some pretty nasty mounts.
I've(obviously) taken 10 levels of Barbarian, and Greater Ferocious Mount and all the Beast Totem Rage powers.
Now, I noticed Wolves get Trip.
Now this is an underestimated boon. I decided that it would be best to give the Wolfie Improved and Greater Trip, along with Improved Natural Attack(Bite) just for flavor.
Now, with two claws, a tripping bite, pounce, and causing the opponent to provoke when tripped, I discovered what happens on a charge:
With Pounce while charging(Spirited Charge included) I do triple damage four times with my lance while raging for superb damage. My mount attacks, first two claws are nothing shabby, until it gets its bite. With a+2 Size modifier, all that strength, and handy bonuses from Improved and Greater Trip, the opponent is now prone and has provoked an attack of oppurtunity. Something I read in the core rulebook stated that provoked attacks work for all opponents who threaten said opponent, therefore:
Wolfie and I get yet another attack each. Now while the charge is the main damage the first round, I can do this every round the opponent attempts to get up again, considering they'll provoke an attack of opportunity doing so, allowing Wolfie to merely trip them with his AoO and allow us more attacks again.
In essence, once the enemy is down, they do not get up again... ever.
