I know a lot of those things are Free Actions, but the DM has the option to limit the number of free actions taken in a round. Mostly I have a problem with how you wake up... it generally takes a while for me to get my bearings and clear my head when I wake up, even when I'm trying to become as alert as possible.Oh, yeah... you make a ride check to stay on the horse. The horse is the one who has to jump the log, and so the horse is the one who has to make the Jump check. And seeing how it's a High Jump instead of a Long Jump, the DC is going to be a heck of a lot higher than 15.Besides, doesn't the charge action explicitly preclude charging over rough terrain regardless of if you can jump over it?</blockquote>
