[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5630318, member: 35909"] The MIC has two items that largely duplicate Find the Gap. One is the Imapaling (+1 equivalent) weapon property for piercing weapons that works on one attack as a swift action 3/day. There's also the 3/day Heart Seeking Amulet, which is stupidly overpowered and only costs something like 2700 gp. Why no mount, though? Trade Paladin mount for Charging Smite AND get a serviceable mount, either with Wild Cohort feat or Leadership feat. Mountain Tombstone Strike cannot be combined with a charge. Any of the White Raven charge maneuvers work fine, though, and since they add a flat bonus damage (get the Leading the Charge stance, too!!!), it multiplies with your lance. Get Power Attack and Leap Attack as you have above (your mount may also need them for your DM to allow a mounted Leap Attack) and 2-hand that lance even though you don't have to. Get the Discipline Weapon enhancement from ToB. For a +1, it gives you a +3 enhancement whenever in a stance of the chosen discipline. If you're in a WR stance 24/7 (and you can be, so no problem there), you're getting a +3 enhancement for the price of +1. Finally, don't spend feats on ToB stuff. Just dip into Warblade or Crusader (Warblade's better) at high level and get Battleleader's Charge or Warleader's Charge, whichever you can obtain, and the Leading the Charge stance. One lost Paladin level won't kill you, unless you DM doesn't allow you to go back, I hate that rule. So, on a mount.... Leadership or Wild Cohort Mounted Combat Ride by Attack Spirited Charge Power Attack Leap Attack Improved Bull Rush (pre-req) Shock Trooper (so you won't miss when you full PA) Stance: Leading the Charge (+1/2 HD to charge damage, basically) Maneuvers: Some sort of WR charge; Pouncing Charge Weapon: Lance. If possible, get strongarm bracers from MIC and use a Large lance. Relevant magic items: Heart Seeking Amulet or Impaling enhancement Spells: Rhino's Rush [/QUOTE]
