yup. 100% legal by raw
Bonded mount:
This mount functions as a druid's animal companion, using the paladin's level as her effective druid level. Bonded mounts have an Intelligence of at least 6.
Animal Companion:
Animal companions with an Intelligence of 3 or higher can select any feat they are physically capable of using.
In Conclusion:
Your horse is free to reenact the end scene of the original Karate Kid to your hearts content (even though that was an illegal kick by Danny LaRusso)
It's only Crane Wing that requires a hand free to gain its benefit. Style is fine.

How many hands do you need?
The average Clydesdale is 17-19 hands ;)
Does that stack then?

Note that the horse could still learn Crane Wing, as it would meet the pre-requisites, only it couldn't use it^^

Elizabeth Shue read the rules as they headed in. Kicks to the head were legal in that tourney. Trust Cobra Kai not to be able to read.yup. 100% legal by raw

The referee in the movie lists strikes to the face as not permissible; while this doesn't mean that Daniel should have been disqualified, it does mean that he should not have been awarded a point for the strike (which he was).

...Animal companions with an Intelligence of 3 or higher can select any feat[/b] they are physically capable of using...
"Capable of using" seems like a big ol' grey area, though. No?

who determines capable? me? you? My God? Your God? Random kid in the back of the room?the task doesnt require thumbs or grasping an object, a horse is capable of doing it, especially with an above average int.
show me an in game ruling of being capable and martial arts.
Maybe i think a duck isnt capable of using toughness, i dont believe in tough ducks.
saying a duck can have toughness sounds ridiculous, a duck isnt physically tough unless you over cook it.
but thats not anywhere in the rules, thats pure conjection and hyperbole.
*Mechanically* nothing prevents the horse from being a Kunk fu panda character
Don't you dare, ducks are awesome! Male ducks are drakes, tell me there is no toughness there!
Anything you can do, a duck can do better!
Tough ducks are fine. Toughness is listed as an animal feat so any animal can take it. Now a Gun Twirling pony on the other hand is a no go.
It is capable of using Crane Wing if it is just as a prerequisite for Crane Riposte to lower the penalty for fighting Defensively to just -1.
...who determines capable?
...the GM. Think that's pretty clear.
In 3rd, there were a few places where they basically said "oh, by the way. Use your common sense." No matter your damage output, arrows can't knock down doors and clubs can't break rope. Elephants have high strength, horses and dolphins have decent Dex, but it doesn't mean they're good at jumping, walking a tightrope or climbing a ladder.
Granted, I don't think a horse with Crane Style would be broken or anything. But if I had a player legitimately trying to boost their mount's defenses, I'd help them find a less ridiculous option. If they wanted a karate-horse, well...I guess in the right setting?
I mean, mechanically all Crane style does is make you better at fighting defensively.
You could make a new feat called "Defensive Fighter" and copy/paste everything from Crane Wing and now you don't have a silly karate hirse but it's exactly the same.

Exactly.
Maybe you call it crane style, but the horse calls it defensive maneuver alpha.You don't get to judge the horse

Exactly my point. If you want the benefits of Crane Style, cool. Let's work with that. Defensive Maneuver Alpha.
If you want your horse wearing a headband and a black belt and shouting "hiya!" then like I said: in the right setting, I guess.| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |

If you REALLY want to get RAW, then technically no.One of the pre-requisites for it is Improved Unarmed Strike.
In that feat:
Normal: Without this feat, you are considered unarmed when attacking with an unarmed strike, and you can deal only nonlethal damage with such an attack.
What part of that means anything to a horse?
What are you even trying to say there?

I think Skrayper believes you need arms to make an unarmed strike, which is a common misunderstanding. I don't know what the quoted text is supposed to prove, though.

Well, they are un-armed strikes, lacking arms certainly isn't a problem^^
I can imagine a horse being trained to do a one leg stand. Makes as much sense as a human impersonating a bird and it giving them some sort of fighting advantage.
All I’m saying is that you gotta get into Horse Stance in order to even learn other stances. It’s the most basic move in multiple martial arts! XD

That horse was standing on three legs! I demand a refund!

Why? Crane Style is just a dude lifting one leg off the ground. The horse lifted a leg off the ground.

I consider a "graceful, one-legged stance" to mean balancing on one leg, not lifting one leg and then putting other body parts on the ground so you can balance. If the horse doesn't lift both forelegs, how can it imitate the wings of a crane with them?

It uses its ears instead. How is this not obvious?

Thank you! Finally, an interpretation that makes sense!
