Vital Strike on Mounted Charge


Rules Questions

Dark Archive

On the PFSRD under the Mounted Combat section, it is written that when your mount charges, you gain the drawback and advantage of charging (-2 to AC and +2 to attack), but it does not say that it is actually a charge action for the rider.

Therefore, you could make just about any attack at the end of your mount's charge--not necessarily a charge attack. Thus, could you use Vital Strike at the end of your mount's charge by taking an attack action at the end of the charge?

My understanding is no, as you are charging at the same time as your mount. Mounted combat is weird.

Where does it say that? Or is there an official source to that intent?


it's not been updated. FAQ

Good enough for me, thanks.
