Cavalier Beast Rider attacks


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

First I would like to know if the mount can attack at all while the Cavalier is on it?

Second if the Beast Rider takes a mount with Pounce Ability does the Cavalier or the Mount can make a full attack? Or the mount cant pounce while mounted?

Third if the Mount have Improved evasion can he use it to takes no damage from a fireball while mounted? Will the Cavalier takes no damage too while riding the mount?


1) If your mount is combat trained (and a Cavalier's is), you can direct it to attack with a Ride check, DC 10.

Fight with a Combat-Trained Mount: If you direct your war-trained mount to attack in battle, you can still make your own attack or attacks normally. This usage is a free action.

2) The mount can make a full attack. You can only make a single attack:

Mounted Combat wrote:
If your mount moves more than 5 feet, you can only make a single melee attack.

3) The mount takes no damage if it makes its Reflex save. The Cavalier uses his own save, and does not benefit from the mount's (Improved) Evasion.


Thank you.

So Both the mount and the Cavalier can make their full attacks if they dont move or move just 5ft by doing the Ride check.
