Message: <blockquote data-quote="StreamOfTheSky" data-source="post: 4835331" data-attributes="member: 35909">Yeah, most of my advice comes from my experiences making a really obscenely powerful charging duo for a short-lived campaign (DM decided he couldn't handle the workload of prepping an adventure every week)  My friend and I collaborated on it, making PCs that were best friends and fellow knights in their army, knowing each other for years.  I played a Human Knight (with a dip in marshal -- cha to dex checks, including ride and initiative --, warblade, and had the campaign lasted, going full 10 in Cavalier).  He played a Centaur Knight (also planning to go into cavalier, without the dips).  Both using lances.Suffice to say, we could vaporize anything we jointly attacked.  Not only that, we covered each other.  My ride checks saved his ass once a round, we could both use the knight's shield other ability if one of us got hit with focus fire, etc...  While it lasted, it was great fun, and if you have a good friend (who doesn't mind being your mount or vice versa), I highly recommend trying it out in a game sometime.Do note, mounted combat even on a regular horse doesn't work by RAW (you can't have two creatures act their entire rounds simultaneously, making mounted charges impossible).  In the two PCs scenrio, it becomes even more important to have a DM willing to allow you to delay to the same initiative and act at the same time.  Which reminds me...the best part was doing the double charge of doom, continuing on via ride-by attack, and then using WR Tactics on my buddy's centaur so he could get a new ride-by attack charge on the same guy or a different one. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
