[QUOTE="StalkingBlue, post: 1491247, member: 645"] Ah, you're back FireLance. Cool. :cool: Yup, I was thinking that. S'mon and I were actually discussing specifically the fighting while riding side-by-side situation ... [uh, wait ... runs to check - nope, not in this thread, must have been somewhere else, sorry :). ] Anyway, the result of your dscussion was that while the side-by-side race-plus-fight is very cinematic, PHB rules appear to preclude that because every combatant moves on his/her/its turn, so movement is assumed to be non-simultaneous. Depending on the game style you could of course always dispense with that and allow an action simply because it's plausible or just too plain stylish and cinematic to be disallowed. :) (I've done that a bit in the past, currently a bit cramped on that because the Midnight game I'm currently running is so demanding on PC tactics and nerves that I need to stick to the actual rules where I can, to provide a firm and safe-feeling basis for players.)
