[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 3696148, member: 39394"] (shrug) It's one of the differences between playing a character from first level and building a character at a higher level. At first level, not only did I not have the money to buy a warhorse, there were no warhorses available in the immediate area for sale. In fact, I have never been in an area where there was a warhorse available for sale. It was bad enough sucking down Mounted Combat as a wasted feat for levels 3 and 4, until I got my Mount at 5th. I certainly wasn't going to take three feats I couldn't use until level 5. So I took Power Attack and Cleave, and both proved extremely useful for a role as the party tank. Heck, Cleave remains a primo feat all the way through high levels, so I don't regret having it. I take it you advise going for Ride-by Attack after all? You might just talk me into it. I can just taste that quadruple damage (lance + Rhino's Rush + Spirited Charge) charge at 9th level. It's a tough call. I wouldn't give up paladin spells. With the Spell Compendium open, they get some real winners. [/QUOTE]
