If you have ride by attack and your mount has spring attack can you do a ride by attack while the mount attacks?
Your mount acts on your initiative count as you direct it. You move at its speed, but the mount uses its action to move.
So if the mount moves at regular speed I can take a full round action? However it doesn't say if on a charge if it uses the mounts actions or yours. However it does say:
If your mount charges
Implying the mount is the one charging. Which means spring attack, which isn't a charge, wouldn't work. However does this not mean that if the mount is charging that it gets the bonus from ride by attack?
I just want to make sure i'm right.
If this is the case and you can't get an animal to attack with ride by attack ride by attack seems useless if you have a powerful type of animal companion (ie. a dinosaur) and that you should pursue the overrun feat tree instead. Or is there another, better, alternative?
