<br />
a sohei mounted is amazing but ALL your feats will go there.
<br />
(as i want mount to NOT be large) it's
<br />
undersized mount
<br />
ride by attack
<br />
skirmisher
<br />
power attack
<br />
wheeling charge
<br />
spirited charge
<br />
3 feats to gain a mount. </p>
<p>human, level 11, monk has 11 feats. leaving 2 feats on NON mounted.
<br />
so, i prefer the above options really.</p>way too feat intensive

<p>take the nature soul and animal ally feats for an appropriate mount (hint: one with pounce), then boon companion to match it's advancement to yours.</p>
<p>a reason for this:
<br />
sohei monks get loads of bonuses for their mounts, can flurry with polearms and spears, can flurry while wearing armor, <i>and can take any mounted feat at any level they want via bonus feats.</i></p>
<p>mounted skirmisher at level 1-2? you betcha.</p>another one to consider: sohei monk.

<br />
mounted isnt the right word, it's more fight with a animal at your side \ mounted.
<br />
my race will be human or 1/2 orc as i like to do damage and maneuvers.
<br />
i will use in all options below, the undersized mount so the mount will be medium OR partly medium (reduce animal always on).
<br />
top allowed is one level dip.
<br />
classes allowed are the list below only. </p>
<p>1) Cavalier order of the dragon, beast rider Emissary and honor guard.
<br />
mount will be : a gecko or a bear .
<br />
you take all the mounted feats but also the swift aid feat.
<br />
the idea is to charge if \ when you can for a lot less damage than order of the sword on a big mount, but still decent. than full attack while you bodyguard your allies and mount.
<br />
it's not a super DPR build, but a decent one that also assist well it's friends .
<br />
dip here isnt needed. </p>
<p>2) same as 1, but order of the sword and no honor gaurd.
<br />
mount need to be a mobile 1 - like the gecko.
<br />
the idea is to move in-out-in again.
<br />
it's DPR is very nice - but.... i think some what boring and a 1 trick pony. </p>
<p>3) Ranger, beastmaster. combat style = mounted.
<br />
mount = a flyer that stay medium - a giant vulture or a roc are the best.
<br />
when possible you make mounted charges, when not you are a full ranger with a VERY nice companion.
<br />
use Reduce Animal all the time - so mount stay medium at all levels - it's damage will be nice .
<br />
use carry companion to make mount begone when not needed - and you are still a decent full stealth ranger with power attack and some spells. </p>
<p>4) hunter, AC will be a deadly one - large cat, Trex, roc etc.
<br />
or even a ape - that dm allow (if int is 3+) to wield a weapon.
<br />
with team feats - your total to hit is almost like a full bab.
<br />
the mount will be deadly. use Reduce Animal at all times.
<br />
use reach weapon and precise strike.
<br />
i didint do the math, but the extra 1d6 per attack and the + to str will make you and your AC decent + in damage with great reach.</p>first of, the idea is at least most of the time be with a mount \ companion.
