For a archery style ranger shooting from a horse, my buddy and i are trying to figure out any penalties from shooting from a mount. I thought rangers didnt have any bc rangers but that seems really loose so im comin here haha. SO, if i am shooting from a horse and thr enemy is not in cover or concealment, do i have ANY other penalties whilest shooting from a mount
No (mount related) penalties for shooting unless your mount is taking a double move (-4attack) or running (-8attack). The feat Mounted Archery halves these penalties.
You can use ranged weapons while your mount is taking a double move, but at a –4 penalty on the attack roll. You can use ranged weapons while your mount is running (quadruple speed) at a –8 penalty. In either case, you make the attack roll when your mount has completed half its movement. You can make a full attack with a ranged weapon while your mount is moving. Likewise, you can take move actions normally.
