Hello!
My question is this, what exactly does the unseat feat do?
Unseat(combat):When charging an opponent while mounted and wielding a lance, resolve the attack as normal. If it hits, you may immediately make a free bull rush attempt in addition to the normal damage. If successful, the target is knocked off his horse and lands prone in a space adjacent to his mount that is directly away from you.
Okay, I may try to take down my opponent from his mount, but only works against a mounted opponent? Can I make a free bull rush attempt against an landing opponentd? If so, he fall on prone?
The second question is, how do you bring down the opponent of your mount without Unseat feat?
And finally, would be possible to make a sunder/disarm/trip in charge?

1. It isn't clear; the rest of the feat text (and the feat name) implies it's meant for use against mounted opponents. I'd probably just allow the bull rush as a free normal bull rush, but prone doesn't make sense since there's no mount to call from.
2. A mounted opponent? The surest way is to kill them or kill their mount. Barring that, bull rush, drag, grapple-move, or reposition ought to do. Nets, mancatchers, and other specialty weapons might help. Tripping a mount ought to work, but there's no real rule guaranteeing it, though in real life being dismounted when your mount trips is probably the most favorable outcome.
3. Absolutely. Disarm, trip, and sunder can substitute for any melee weapon attack, and the maneuver gets the charge bonus to the attack roll. Sundering the saddle ought to be humiliating and might prompt the GM to impose circumstance penalties to further ride checks, including the one to stay in the saddle. At discretion, of course. (Staying mounted with a severed saddle strap is probably harder than riding without a saddle at all.)
Sounds good!
Thanks for reply me!
About my second question, I was referring to an opponent mounted, let's say, in a jousting match, how would it work to knock out the opponent without the unseat feat?
A ride check to atempt stay in the saddle with a DC = 5 + Damage? Is there any rule about this?

That would make more sense, but for some reason they made the check to stay in the saddle upon being damaged a mere DC 5. The amount of damage isn't relevant (unless the GM decides it is and throws a circumstance modifier in).
