[QUOTE="Scharlata, post: 1685529, member: 4806"] Hi! During the last encounter (with some Ghuls invading a tavern) some questions came up that I'd like to dicuss here at the MB. If a mount (here: a horse) is paralyzed: 1.) and its Strength score is 0, can it support a rider and his equipment (DMG Paralysis vs. PHB Carrying Capacity)? Is the paralyzed mount stiff and can't move a limb or is it too weak to support it's own weight? 2.) and its Dexterity Score is 0 and therefore it is helpless, does it count as helpless to determine whether or not someone can pass through the 4 squares it occupies without the use of the Tumble skill? Can someone end his movement in one of the 4 squares just as with any other helpless creature? 3.) can a rider use all of the 4 squares the mount occupies to attack from his mount just as if the mount could move normally? Is the rider hindered in any way to do the things he could normally do while mounted? 4.) Is there anyone who thinks the 3.5 rules for mounted combat are a cheap excuse for any DM to use war mounts against the PCs? Why would someone not fight from atop of a warhorse, when a heavy warhorse deals so much damage with a full attack routine and the Ride check DC is relatively low for fighting on a warhorse? 5.) Thanx for your thoughts Kind regards [/QUOTE]
