[QUOTE="Wolffenjugend, post: 1268510, member: 11069"] The Mounted Combat feat allows a rider to make a Ride check once per round (as a reaction) to negate a hit that has been made on the rider's mount. If the check is higher than the AC struck, then the attack is negated. My question is this: Does a character with the feat get to choose which attack to attempt to negate? For example, let's say a fighter with 3 attacks hits a mount twice in the same round. The rider (with Mounted Combat) can try to negate one of these attacks. But which one? The one with the higher attack bonus or the lower? It would seem that the rider would always want to check against the lowest attack roll. Would it make sense for the rider to declare after each hit whether or not the rider wants to try and negate it? If the rider passed on the first hit to wait and try to negate a hit that scored a lesser AC, what if subsequent attacks all missed? In that case, would the rider have given up the chance to negate a hit by waiting for an easier chance? How do others handle Mounted Combat? [/QUOTE]
