[QUOTE="Gwarok, post: 1772784, member: 12249"] My main issue with Mounted combat wasn't the feats and abilities. A Fighter is obviously required to make the most out of them, but spirited charge with a lance is a nice dmg dealer. Especially if you have ride by attack. And a fast mount is a must. But yea, I agree that in a dungeon crawl they are of little value. But i have noticed that alot of fights take place out of doors, and alot of monsters are fairly large themselves which usually means you will have room to run around in. The main pain in the butt is that mounts are often alot weaker than the PC riding them and they die alot. I think its one of the reasons fighters get Handle Animal as a class skill, so they can train superior beasts as mounts later on in their careers. But ever since our grp was surprised by a 7th lvl Goblin Druid with some riding feats, mounted on a dire wolf, I gotta say I was impressed with what a mounted guy can do. That lil bastard almost ate a party of 5 5th lvl guys who knew what they were doing. [/QUOTE]
