[QUOTE="Cabral, post: 2800087, member: 1193"] Cavalier is also a great mounted combatant. The Calvary Charger Tactical feat is good, although less so for a Small character The Mounted Archery offsets some of the penalties from using a bow mounted The Halfling Outrider looks like a great choice for a mounted archer :D As for meeting the Prereqs, I would do it with Ranger. Fighter can do it too, but the Ranger gets spells and an Animal Companion (which could be your mount) at 4th level, the Outrider levels stack with Ranger for Animal Companion abilities. The ranger Ranged Combat Style bonus feats accentuate the Outrider's ranged abilities rather well. While you can meet the prereqs and start the Outrider class at level 6 (Ranger 5, Outrider 1), you might want to hold off, or intersperse Ranger levels. At Ranger 6, you get Manyshot At Ranger 8, you get swift tracker and level 2 spells (assuming Wis 16+) At Ranger 9, you get Evasion, which, combines with the 7th level Outrider Evasion to grant Improved Evasion ... Improved Evasion at level 16 isn't amazing, but at least you have it :) Plus favored enemies can be very nice depending on the campaign. That is assuming you don't want to pick up another Prestige class, like Arcane Archer or Order of the Bow Initiate As an alternative (which happens to be great if you want to dip into arcane archer), start with Hexblade. At 6th level take the Improved Familiar feat and use your familiar as a mount. When you hit Outrider 7 (character level 12) you have Mettle and Evasion ... pretty nifty :) You only get a few first level spells, I would reccomend augment familiar :] I'm not familiar with the scout, so I can't comment on it. (I only have Complete Warrior and Complete Divine ...) [/QUOTE]
