Mounted combat question


Advice


So a mounted character on the charge, gets one attack, that much is cut and dried.

Does the warhorse, cat, whatever, get one attack as well ?

oops, wrong area. :(


yes if they don't have pounce.
The point of mounted combat is to not stop next to your target so they can't get a full attack off on you. Ride by is your friend.


If the mount charges, the mount and rider both get +2atk and -2 ac from charging. The mount gets to make one attack at the end.

The rider still has both his standard and move actions for use, and so he can use his standard action to make an attack once the target is in range. Due to text in the mounted combat section, he cannot make a full-attack (melee) if the mount has moved more than 5'.


Thank you.
I figured that was the case, and just wanted to be sure.

*Ding!* We have a winner. (And it's a cheaper feat path than Spring Attack).
