Pouncing Tiger - Dead Dragon

[Inconsequenti-AL]

Just out of curiosity - What happens when you have:

A rider with ride-by attack.

A tiger special mount, with a pounce attack.



Does the tiger go: Charge - Pounce - full attack - Run off - Rinse - Repeat.

It's a tiny bit unpleasant if it does?

I can see nothing that would prevent such a maneuvre, unless the "Attack with Warhorse" Ride use can't be combined with the "Ride-by Attack" feat.

Actually, the Ride-By Attack feat says that "you" (the character with the feat) may charge and then attack and then move again. It doesn't say that your mount may do so as well. I think I would rule that if the mount attacked at the end of the charge, that it could not move again, since that would effectively be the same as Spring Attack.

 

[Wolffenjugend]

Wouldn't full attack be out due to the fact that the mount is moving both before and after making an attack? (as per Ride-by Attack)

 

[MorganKiller]

Is it possible for your character to attack in the middle of your mount movement and then your mount attacks when it finishes moving?

If you have ride-by-attack, I mean... and of course both you and your mount would be single attacking...

I'd never let the mount pounce with a rider.

 

[Darmanicus]

I'd never let the mount pounce with a rider.

Why not?

 

[Darklone]

Well, perhaps I would,... but with a helluva ride check.

 

[Darmanicus]

Well, perhaps I would,... but with a helluva ride check.

Yeah I'd agree with that but I'd use a DC based on the size of the target compared to that of the pouncer.

Maybe not a typical rider... the Windrider PrC might be able to get away with it...
