Shield bash while mounted?


Rules Questions


I couldn't find anything that says you can't but I wanted to know that if your mounted and have a shield, can you use shield bash. I was thinking about the mechanics of it. One of my players wants to TWF, shield bash then attack. The thought of someone on a horse hitting an enemy with a shield then following that with a sword stoke simply boggles me. Official ruling?

Don't overthink it. The character can do this just fine as far as the rules are concerned.


Thank you for answering this so directly.Case closed.


You probably want to read the "guide with knees" action under the ride skill.
