I suspect that may not be the case when the mount in question is flying. I'll be testing that theory with a Roc-riding Halfling Hunter.

1/5

I have only seen a couple of gnome summoners who ride pouncing eidolons.

The most memorable game involving mounted characters was the time my wizard got fed up with overland travel and memorized the spell mount 3 times each day for the rest of the scenario to keep party movement at 40 ft (there were 6 of us and 3 horses, they got encumbered.)

I think i see it a bit more often than two weapon fighters.

We have Menzo Mezcal, a mounted summoner build. I sculptied the mount and pressed the mini into it so he could ride it

The home pfs group has a halfling on a wolf named curt.

I have a barely used kangaroo pouch rider name Joey.

I'm currently playing a human verminous hunter with a mantis mount. I took the undersized mount feat and ant haul as one of my first lvl spell so it could fly while carrying me. Before I got to second level I ditched the spell choice and got a wand of ant haul for 2pp. The mantis has the shoulder slot feat and is now wearing muleback cords. Just reached 3 lvl and gave it evolved companion reach. I charge with a lance from 10' up and we both get an attack. Once there I get my lance stab and the mantis gets two attacks. If I drop the target the mantis can get a single attack at +4 at it lunge range of 20'. We are both medium and rarely has the mantis been barred entry. By the time it progresses to large I will be able to cast reduce animal.

Not even five, to be exact.

There was a mounted summoner playing in some local games in my area for a while too.

He wasn't using his eidolon as a mount, but was riding a flying bat. Usually for recon or to stay out of trouble, while his pets do the fighting.

You are aware that the Evolved Companion feat is not society legal?

A very nice build otherwise :).

My hunter has been fighting side by side with her mammoth companion, now that I'm level 7 and she's grown to large size I might start riding her into combat, but I'm definatly going to ride her into combat at level 10 when I get the hunter into the Mammoth Rider prestige class. Also, I need to figure out the exact way Trample (Ex) works, because it just seems to funny to have the mammoth run over enemies and whack one of them at the end as well.

Trample is wonky. IIRC, there's several abilities named trample that don't do the same thing.

Of note - technically that's not PFS legal. Per the PFS rules - you're only ever allowed one animal/pet etc which includes animal companions, eidolons etc. This is to keep the game flow going as they don't want too many extra things on the table.

I've seen a halfling paladin riding a dog. His charges with a lance are incredible. Mounted Combat to negate hits and his AC is fantastic.

I have a nagaji cleric who rides his large constrictor snake more for effects than anything. I have found the hosteling armor ability to be an excellent thing to have on armor. For the effect he grabs the snake by the tail and wraps it around his o-yoroi armor and the snake becomes a decoration. It works really well in cramped spaces and then I can turn it loose when there's more room.

I've also played around with the idea of a human Mutagenic Mauler/Wild Child Brawler with the Undersized Mount feat. He could be an ostracized Mwangi youth who learned alchemy from his outcast witch doctor father and befriended a lone lion on the savanna. You could change it to an Arcadian with a shaman father and a wolf or a Vudran with a mystic father and a tiger. I think the companion's strength may be the only issue. I think one of those would be fun to play...

I would say uncommon instead of rare. 8/12 were absolute bs (eidolon team mount, pounce, mammoth rider etc.) Some were poor man's boots of speed 4/12 (riding dogs).

Actually it is legal, since he does not summon his eidolon in combat. (His eidolon was build as a scout/rogue type and used out of combat.)

Instead he rides the bat and summons pets (example, elementals) as in via his summon monster SLA to fight in combat.

Yeah that works, just as long as your Eidolon never appears on the battlemat or gives even the slightest mechanical benefit to combat. You shouldn't even have a mini for him as it would never need one.

Long as that's how you are doing it, its all good.

For clarification though you might not want to use the term "pets" when refering to your summoned creatures. Pets is a more of an unofficial term used to describe Eidolons, Mounts, and Animal Companions.

Fair enough - I read it as his eidolon doing the fighting while he rides the bat.

Is there some sort of PFS ruling on the "Lastwall" part of Wheeling Charge?

I had originally started this thread because my significant other and I played our "Pint-sized mounted pair of doom" characters at a con this past week. Mine is a halfling shining knight archetype paladin 10 on a dog. Hers is a gnome druid 9/fighter 1 on a medium tiger. We both have mounted combat, spirited charge, ride-by attack, and wheeling charge.

They are the only mounted characters - medium or small - that either of us have ever seen in PFS. We even did well in a narrow dungeon thanks to my character having a high UMD and a wand of spider climb and her taking feather step every day.

The only thing that bothered me was the GM having every single bad guy attack us and not the mounts (thus negating one of the cool parts of mounted combat); he said, "he's smart enough to know not to attack the mount."

I was pondering asking if it was the GM smart enough or the NPC smart enough, but we were so effective that I didn't worry about it.

We were generally doing ~50 points of damage per hit, so not much lived when we both got a charge past it.

I would call it more "the GM is metagaming". I'd even call it wrongly metagaming. Whenever I see mounted NPCs I always go for the mount first. Why wouldn't they do the same to us?

As far as I know THIS is the only word on the matter (and I don't even know if that's still official since it's neither Mark nor John (current campaign leadership)).

Sometimes I see medium characters on horseback, more often it's the gnome on dog category.

You don't see it as much in PFS, because the society isn't as stratified and homogeneous as you're used to in your home game. By it's nature, the Society is more like the Foreign Legion, it's Pathfinders come from a very wide variety of races and backgrounds. And it's definitely NOT militaristic.

I've seen a Wheeling Charge Warg-Riding halfling cavalier, and a Dog-riding gnome paladin in action, and both of them worked quite well.

I've been thinking about a "night rider" wayang-worg-rider.

Now that Unchained is here, I wonder -

A lance on a mount works as a 1H piercing weapon;
A swashbuckler can Finesse any 1H piercing weapon;
Unchained rogues can dex-to-damage with piercing weapons;

So could I make a dex-to-damage lancer that way? It takes "only" 4 non-Cavalier levels, just enough that Boon Companion can fix it...

And that's a valid call. Anyone who's had to deal with Pathfinders, or Adventurers in general knows that they are far far more of a threat than the mounts they ride on. And if the mount looks like a good steed, they may want it for themselves!

not always true. My mount ("A.C.") is much more dangerous than I am. I introduce myself at the VC briefing as "Percy Footman, dog delivery system".

the mount has one less HP than Percy, the same AC, and does much more damage in combat. Often Percy will just drink a potion of Invisibility and use a wand of Vanish each round on A.C., right after the dog attacks.

Fireball would work well, too. Any AoE in general.

Which would support taking at least two levels of Unchained Rogue, since that gives the rider, at least, Evasion.

Boon Companion or Horse Master feat. Although it requires 4 Cavalier leveles and 6 ranks in Ride.

I have two mounted characters so far. One is lvl 6 human Ranger who spesialices on archery and has horse as animal companion. Other is lvl 1 gnome Cavalier.

Just wondering, how did you get around the weight capacity issues there - my Halfling on a Roc is barely within the weight capacity wearing basically nothing but a bow. Can't fly if the creature is at medium or heavy encumbrance.

Personally, I have a archer monk riding around on a Roc. GMs dislike it, but I try not to be too insane with it. I also have an inquisitor sacred huntmaster who will ride around on his owlbear once he reaches lvl 4. Both are medium creatures to avoid issues with cramped spaces.

Per those suggesting the Undersized Mount feat, it possibly/probably won't work how you like - it is only really useful for classes with a Mount feature that specifically state they need a larger creature to ride, but at the same time it lists specific creatures they can take which the feat does not change, so it doesn't really do anything. Homegames, Gms can allow you.

Which is an important distinction for STR lance builds since it means you can still use 1.5x STR and better power attack on your lance even when using your other hand for a shield or spellcasting.

I see mounted characters so rarely that I decided to see just how far I could take it. Albeit, its not always useful in the ways that one expects, I bring along a Safecamp wagon and the horses to pull it whenever possible. It has served as an expensive portable doorstop better than anything else.

Stay tuned, though; if you want to see more mounts in PFS, then you're going to have to BE the mount. That's where my gnomish brain is heading.

The problem with making scenarios geared towards mounted specialists is of course... what to do with the non-mounted folks?

Shadow Lodge 4/5

It depends a lot on who you play With. Some GMs will not let you bring your mount/animal companion anytime they can feasibly make an excuse to disallow them. Sorry, no room on the boat, sorry can only teleport 6 people, sorry your horse isn't going to fit down this narrow staircase into the dungeon, etc.
I find this is often directly proportional to the amount of power gaming that is common in the group. GMs whose experience is that their PCs walk through everything without a scratch will banhammer the hardest in an attempt to make the scenario more challenging. GMs whose experience is their PCs often struggle to succeed will happily allow you to take your horse into the dungeon.

Apart from that, pfs has a lot more social scenarios and indoor scenarios then greyhawk did. You will find yourself attending dinner parties, libraries, etc. Where animals are clearly not going to be allowed in by the proprietors.

I have mulled with the idea of making a druid that wildshapes into a tiger, with and AC ape with boosted int so it can take the mounted combat feats and ride the druid in to battle.

I know the Alchemist's post was back in Jan but I didn't see it then, and just read through this thread. No-one said anything about his build, but it isnt a legal build in any case. A lance is a 2-handed weapon, and he's using a large one. When he posted this, that was not even an option. Titan Fighter has since come out and would make it a legal option at this point, but it wouldn't probably hit very often. I also copied Kigvan's post in due to relevance.

As far as the thread is concerned, in the Seattle area there are about a dozen or so mounted characters that I am aware of, including my own Halfling.

~Knight Captain Buzz Seeker, Commander of Andoran's Arial Cavalry.

My next character is a gnome Druid (nature fang archetype), with a giant wasp AC. He can choose to either charge in or support the party with spells.

Main reason to choose the giant wasp is the great miniature I have.

Indeed. It's a misunderstanding I've actually seen a few times.

Since a two-handed lance can be wielded as a one-handed weapon when mounted, people incorrectly extrapolate that to mean that all "handedness" designations are affected, making a "three-handed" lance count as a two-handed weapon when mounted.

For people that are only casually familiar with the rules for inappropriately sized weapons, that explanation can take up some table time (and obviously results in a subtraction to the PCs power level, which makes them defensive).

But the horse makes the mounted charger extremely dangerous - and in most cases, it's easier to kill than he is. It's actually pretty dumb to try and pick a guy off his horse when by leaving his horse alone you're allowing him to stay away from you and take you apart at his leisure.

Damage goes down a significant amount, actually.

Smaller damage die, so -1 from that.
Only Str to damage, so 50% loss from that on main hand.
Another 50% beyond that if using two of them TWF, on the off-hand.
Only a one-handed weapon for you, so on a 1:2 for PA, not 1:3, so another 50% damage lost.
And, on the charge multipliers, it can add up to a significant damage drop.

In my area we just saw a cavalier with an axebeak retire. I myself play two mounted characters, other has an axebeak, the other has a hippogriff. I can think of maybe six or seven mounted characters so they are not really that rare in my neck of the wood. Druids are more common though.

You're too late to have fun with the carry the mammoth sidetrack, since I just got my Mammoth Rider level.

Onwards to mine:
I have one mounted character since level 7, a hunter on a mammoth, now sitting atop a huge one because of the level Mammoth Rider.

I have a level 2 Core paladin, who will be riding an axebeak into combat once I get to level 5.


I have a halfling fighter/monk spike chain tripper who rides a dog he bought off the market. I could possibly give up the dog at level 3 monk when I have 40ft move speed...but having a full double move THEN attacking is hard to give up. (I plan on buying a wand of mount just in case jerks target dogs)
