Perhaps a successful animal handling check (required to get the warhorse to attack), combined with the sacrifice of 1 attack, would balance things a it more. Failure implying the loss of the horse's attacks, and no more movement? In any case, the horse should use up its action for the hooves attack, so no disengage possible & moving away (on a successful check, if this recommendation is taken) would trigger an AOO from enemies.Aside from the strategic use of faery fire early in the combat, I think we would have had a much harder time if the enemies had all taken their AOO as characters exited their threatened area without disengaging.Cheers,SG</blockquote>
