Ride-By Attack is nigh impossible to use nowadays, what with errata that says you can't overrun, and that you have to travel in a straight line before and after in order to make it a charge. So let's make a new feat to make mounted melee as good as mounted missile.
Mounted Strafe
You can cut down foe after foe as you ride past them.
Prerequisites: Ride 1 rank, Mounted Combat
Benefit: When mounted, you may perform a standard action or full round action at any point during your mount's movement. If you make more than one attack, they can each come at any point during your mount's movement, though if your mount moves more than 5 ft. you must move at least 5 ft. between each attack.
Normal: You can only make melee attacks while mounted at the beginning or end of your mount's movement. You can only make ranged attacks while mounted at the beginning, end, or precise middle of your mount's movement. You cannot make more than one melee attack in a round if your mount moves more than 5 ft.
This is intended, in part, to address a concern that came up in the Red Hand of Doom game we play. My mounted archer was firing off tons of arrows while cavorting around, while the mounted knight only got to make one attack a round.
