Ride-By Attacvk, Your Mount and AoO

[AGGEMAM]

What are you argueing? You're both saying the same thing!

No it doesn't. That was the question I made on the original board to test it out and you'll see it's something different.

The mount and rider do not take AofO's at the mount as it passes, they complete their readied actions. Double check.

I don't think so. In the Sword and Fist example, the mount is subjected to an AoO by the evil ranger while the ranger is dismounted, although the Ride by Attack feat protects the Paladin. I'll double check Sword and Fist, but based on my recollection of the text given in Sword and Fist, the Sage appears to have reversed the interpretation given in that book.

That was how I recalled reading it too, but then I went back and read it twice more (that section at least) and finally beat it through my head that AofO's weren't even involved.

I'm not sure what made me so sure they were originally, maybe the sentence structure, but upon rereading it, it was a readied action, not an AofO.

So the Sage and that passage of the Sword & Fist example neither contradict nor corroborate as neither mentions the other (though they seem to appear to).
