[QUOTE="pvandyck, post: 679113, member: 6885"] Here's the way it works in my game: 1. Yup, during a charge, both you and the mount get 1 attack, provided you make the check (DC 10) 2. You have it exactly. 3. I read to say you can do it anytime you are attacked. Make the check, and you get cover (from the horse, which may be hit instead). I take the "Can't attack" verbiage to mean you don't get AOOs, basically, no matter what somebody in your threatened area is doing. I treat it this way cause it seems balanced. The horse would likely get hit instead. I let it happen outside your init, 'cause it says "react instantly". I don't know what Whippit is talking about free actions outside your init. I don't allow anything outside your init except during an AOO. This riding check seems to be the exception. 4. Hmm, never thought about this. I'll go with whippit. 5. Hmm, never thought about this. I'll go with whippit. 6. I read this to only allow a single move. The "your speed" seemed pretty specific. And it seemed to me to you need to be operating carefully and such to be on "total defense". I don't allow much of the splat books in my game, so I didn't know about the example. Thelbar [/QUOTE]
