[QUOTE="bobcat_grad, post: 5056270, member: 69786"] A) I'd disagree with you. Mounting/Dismounting is explicitly a Standard Action in the DMG - not a move action. So, if you're dominated, I'd say as the DM, I can control your action (and therefore your mount - CHARGE!.... or maybe he'd try to throw you). The real question of what to do is when your mount is dominated an you aren't. On your turn, do I as the DM get to use one action (as the mount) and you get the other two? Or since the mount is dominated by a monster, is it really no longer a mount but rather just some enemy NPC that you happen to be on the back of (meaning you get all 3 actions - one of which should probably be a standard to get off the dominated mount)? B) Your answer works if the character is dazed. But what if only the mount is and you have zero effects on you? I guess as long as you don't rely on the mount's actions to do two things, you'd be fine taking one action as the mount, and the other two as your own? Meaning a dazed mount can't move and then charge, but he could move and let you take a standard action to attack. Not sure about this.... C) I think with immobilized, you're stuck if you're the one immobilized and not the mount. If the mount is immobilized, well, then, just hop off (standard action) and go about your business leaving your immobilized mount where it is. D) Completely forgot about the 1 healing surge per tier. So unless a PC power allows a mount to spend a surge, they must wait until a short rest. [/QUOTE]
