Message: <blockquote data-quote="TessarrianDM" data-source="post: 3713303" data-attributes="member: 51798">If a character is mounted, do the character and mount get to act seperately? For example, can a character take a move action to draw a weapon and then make an attack with it while the mount makes a move and attack? If not, how do the actions of one affect what the other is able to do? Can they act on different initiative turns, or must their actions occur in the same initiative order? We have been doing more outdoor adventuring lately, and the PC's are beginning to pay more attention to fighting while mounted. Do the mounts and the riders both get to take a full round's worth of actions?Recently occuring scenario:The party Healer is mounted on her unicorn. She rolled a 7 for her initiative. The unicorn rolled a 16. A fellow party member 35' away is in melee, and in trouble (down to single digit hit points). She wants to have her unicorn move in and attack the opponent with its horn while she draws a wand of cure critical wounds and heals the character while she remains mounted.A. Can she do this.B. Do all actions occur in the same initiative turn? If so, which initiative?C. Would the healer need to make a DC 20 Ride check to "control mount in battle" or a DC 10 Ride check to "fight with warhorse"? How about an attack roll to "hit" her ally with the wand?Also, does a mounted character retain their Dex bonus to AC and Reflex saves, or do they use the mount's?</blockquote>
