I have a Charger mount. I am a level 16 cavalier in the Order of the Cockatrice and have Demanding Challenge.
I was told a while ago that Mounted Challenge does not grant the mount these bonuses (extra damage while threatening alone and dropping enemy AC against others) but I was never told why. It would seem that by RAW the mount should gain these since both are part of the challenge:
Mounted Challenge wrote:
When ridden by a cavalier, chargers gain half of the bonuses and penalties granted by the cavalier's challenge class feature.
Challenge wrote:
Each cavalier's challenge also includes another effect which is listed in the section describing the cavalier's order.
And Demanding Challenge is an expansion on the basic Challenge class feature gained through leveling up.
So does the mount gain these features? If not then why? Thank you for the help.
