To make the range increments simple and the game move faster, suspend the rules of reality, and assume that all projectiles are fired at the middle of the mount's movement for that round.In a melee situation, if the mount moves more than 5', only a single melee attack can be made by both rider and mount.I'm not sure what exactly was being responded to here, but kreynolds wrote:As the mount is moving, the rider can be making ranged attacks.  I like to think of it as there's more time to do so during the ride, but that's just my way of seeing it and it has nothing to do with the printed rules.  After the mount has moved and entered melee, the rider can't use all of his or her attacks.  It'd be just like moving more than 5' and making a full attack.  A single attack is the only option.I had a really hard time figuring all the mounted combat stuff out when I first started playing DND 3E.  It wasn't until I had some "in game" experience that I was able to see the reasoning for the rules.  I read another thread here on ENWorld that had a poll asking how many people don't have a group to play with.  I'm surprised to see so many people don't.  Do you guys/girls play DND with your friends?</blockquote>
