Mounted Combat / Trick Riding


Advice


Does anyone have the experience of playing a character that's largely a mounted combatant and then the DM never attacks the mount? I feel like I've got a feat tax of Mounted Combat and Trick Riding and I haven't yet got to use them. The thing is, I can't say it's a bad idea. I'm a 15th level mounted Nature Oracle/Barbarian/Rage Prophet with the Beast Rider feat so my mount is certainly holding its own, but it's not nearly the threat that any of the front line pc's are. Advice?


I wouldn't worry about it. If the DM is smart he'll aoe your mount to death but he might feel bad for killing it. That might explain why he hasn't targeted it. Would you say it's death would cripple your character?


My mount has 39 ac and 90 hit points, not to mention improved evasion. He's not exactly squishy, but I'd like the opportunity to get some use from those feats

Hmm... does it work if your mount triggers a trap? My character is generally mounted, but since I'm a back line fighter, the enemy usually has bigger things to worry about than my mount.
