[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 5944260, member: 88649"] I am in need of some rules-fu, please. :) (Note, I have read the entries on Mounted Combat, Charging, Ride-by-Attack, Handle Animal Skill, and Ride Skill already.) 1. Mounted Combat. What are the mechanics for directing a regular mount riding dog or warhorse to charge? (Eidolons and Animal Companions can be controlled with free actions, so not worried about those mounts) 2. Ride-by-Attack This is what is confusing me on the Ride-by-Attack. According to this, you cannot charge through the target. But, Ride-by-attack (Not ride though attack) doesn't seem to care that you are going through an obstacle. Nor does it specify what AoOs you are getting to ignore. I am not sure you can ignore the AoO for an ogre's reach on the way in, but you get to ignore the AoO from moving past the target. Or is it through the target, since you are charging to the closest square and then continuing in the straight line. Sounds more like you are ignoring the AoO from an Overrun Action. Or are you expected to have your mount's charge attack be a Bull Rush to clear the way like Heavy Cavalry was used for. After looking at the Ride Skill, maybe you can use that to initiate the charge for free, instead of Handle Animal. Looks to be unclear, since directing a mount is not the same as ordering them to charge in some people's minds. [/QUOTE]
