[QUOTE="Ogrork the Mighty, post: 2536908, member: 19042"] Does a rider need to make a Ride check when struck while mounted? (sort of like how you must make a Climb check when struck for damage while climbing) The reason I ask is b/c the Ride check has a DC for staying in the saddle when struck. So I was thinking, "Yeah, you need to make a check when you're knocked unconscious", but that check is a % roll and not a skill check. I looked in the DMG and the PH, but I couldn't find any reference to having to make a Ride check when struck for damage to avoid being unhorsed. It does kinda make sense though, especially since the military saddle gives a +2 bonus (to what check?) to stay in the saddle. From the SRD: [I]Stay in Saddle: You can react instantly to try to avoid falling when your mount rears or bolts unexpectedly [B]or when you take damage[/B]. This usage does not take an action.[/I] [Is that the only mention of this rule???] [I]Saddle, Military: A military saddle braces the rider, [B]providing a +2 circumstance bonus on Ride checks related to staying in the saddle[/B]. If you’re knocked unconscious while in a military saddle, you have a 75% chance to stay in the saddle (compared to 50% for a riding saddle).[/I] [/QUOTE]
