Okay, so I've got a sort of mounted control samurai- in training- after I saw that reach actually extends your reach and you can still attack adjacent.

Basic Idea is to use my initial round in combat to use the mount to get me into combat, and either knock someone down (with my sweet sweet +8 to trip), or just begin the power attacking. It is important to note though, that Trip is an attack action, so should I start combat next to them and attempt to Trip and Strike, it will be at a +8, +4- however, ideally the second hit will be against someone prone which gives -2 to AC.
Anyone have any preliminary thoughts? I statted him out to third the way I would build him through each level.
