[QUOTE="Colder, post: 6960718, member: 6807965"] I don't think any of those work the way I assume some posters expect them to. Those are the rules for controlling a mount. Read them closely: the mount is still an independent creature in every sense except that it acts on your initiative and it does what you want it to. It still has its own statistics, its own movement and its own action economy, and you still have your own statistics, your own movement, and your own action economy. Sage Advice has confirmed that [URL="http://www.sageadvice.eu/2015/12/08/charger-feat-on-a-mount/"]your mount taking an action is not the same as you taking the same action[/URL] so it stands to reason that you taking an action is not the same as your mount taking the same action. So Natural Explorer still allows [I]you[/I] to ignore difficult terrain, but the benefit does not extend to other creatures. Likewise, the Dash action allows [I]you[/I] to move up to your speed as an action, but the benefit does not extend to other creatures. And Feline Agility allows [I]you[/I] to double [I]your [/I]speed, but that benefit does not extend to other creatures! If the rules said that mounting a creature caused your speed to change to match the mount's, then all of those things would work, but the mount is clearly a separate creature still, so as it stands, dashing, natural explorer, and feline agility only have an effect when you're actually using your own movement to mount, dismount, or move while dismounted. So a rogue could use its cunning action to dash while mounted, but it wouldn't increase the mount's speed at all. [/QUOTE]
