[QUOTE="Adb0782, post: 8257654, member: 6945705"] I just went to read about it in the PHB. I always used controlled mounts (horses mostly) so i didnt know so much about this. My interpretation is that the companion is a controlled mount (The Beast Master chapter in the PHB say that the companion act with the BM initiative and that for move need the BM verbally comand it, it act indipendetly only when the ranger is incapacitated. To me this mean that the companion cant be an indipendent mount, also because it would mean it can attack in its own turn plus attack again in the ranger turn and this dont seem the way the class should work), but as it is also the BM companion and as the BM companion can use the BM action or bonus action (so its not the companion actions to be used, the controlled mount still dont use any not allowed actions, its the ranger using its action and bonus action to make it perform something) to perform attacks and other actions, he can perfrom the help action or attack action even being mounted and acting with the ranger initiative. Im not sure this is the right way to read it, but it seem the one making sense to me. Am i missing something? edit: At the same time other interpretation can be that as it is a controlled mount, if it is used as a mount he cant attack or perform the help action, but this seem limitate the BM regarding other mounted warriors as seem clear from the description of the companion that it cant be used as an indipendent mount.
