[QUOTE="Fangor the Fierce, post: 1985712, member: 17100"] Ok, it appears as though I am stuck in an Arena, and the Paladin I am fighting against has summoned his mount to aid him. First of all, this was an honorable challenge, from a Fighter with Neutral Good alignment. The paladin calling his mount to help is a very cunning idea, yet i believe it would go against his Paladin code, due to this being labelled as an honorable fight. First of all, am I the only one that thinks like this? Secondly, mounted combat. He has summoned his mount, who is next to him. On his initiative, he has decided to mount the warhorse while drawing his weapon. With a whopping +11 to Ride checks, I don't see much of a problem here. He is not fast mounting, simply mounting as his move action. Secondly, he then orders the mount to charge. Needless to say, he does not have a direct path to charge, as a pillar separates the two warriors. Question is, does he have the ability to charge, should there NOT be an unobstructed path between himself and I? Reason for my query: Move action was to mount and draw weapon. Can the mount then get a charge on the same round? If the pillar was not blocking me, he is wanting to mount, draw his weapon, charge on his steed, disarm me of my bow, and get his horse to attack in the same round. Seems a little bit much to me in one round. Where can I actually look for the rules for mounting in combat, then charging and attacking? [/QUOTE]
