[QUOTE="Kabol, post: 1772710, member: 18116"] Ok - So I recently got curious bout mounted Combat, So Im lookin though the Feats, Classes, PrC's and what-not. Im doin the usual, "Cool, Cool, Wow - Thats Nice!" Kinda thing and grining to my self as I add up the possabilities. Then I stop and Think, When is this useful? I been Gameing for ... I dont know, 5-7 years now. By no means a RPG Heavy Weight - But in all that time I have never really had a meaningful mounted combat, Nor been in a campain where It would be possable most of the time. It seems to me You would need a Mostly Outdoor campaign - Cant really bring horse indoors You need lots of space - Charge 10' - Hit mob - move 10' past him and turn around for another charge. If you dont have that Alot of your feats/Abilities are put on hold - and Again, Cant bring your horse indoors - BBEG runs into a hut and your combat ability is axe'd Favors Palidians - I know Noble Knight with Lance - Its a staple of Fantasy, But alot of the PrCs that really powerup Mounted Combat and Charging need you to be Lawful or a Divine caster. ~ So, Thats my Spiel - How do you all feel about Mounted Combat. Is it a Viable combat form for all types of Campaigns, or only for Very specialized ones? Do the Advantages Balance out / Out Weight the Disadvangages? Or, Am I missing something ? [/QUOTE]
