Can a controlled mount make an opportunity attack? I don't remember being told they lose their reactions, so I would tend to rule that they could. That would make them a threat I'd say.
Ruling: no.Can a controlled mount make an opportunity attack?
They don't lose their reactions, but they don't have free rein (literally) to make use of them, nor do the rules for controlling a mount include the option to direct them to do so. It's putting it too strongly to say that the mount cannot think for itself while controlled, but it certainly can't act on its own behalf.Can a controlled mount make an opportunity attack?

I said does not not not cannot. "Not thinking for yourself" is idiom for not making decisions, and is sometimes applied to people. It is not literally true!It's putting it too strongly to say that the mount cannot think for itself while controlled,
Fair enough.I said does not not not cannot. "Not thinking for yourself" is idiom for not making decisions, and is sometimes applied to people. It is not literally true!
There is a non-technical part to Sneak Attack: "strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction." Attacking from horseback is not subtle, and it tends to draw attention, instead of distract.Technically yes.
Knowing that the horse may kick you in the balls if you devote too much of your attention to the rider is distracting, though.There is a non-technical part to Sneak Attack: "strike subtly and exploit a foe's distraction."

I haven't heard that one. How do they do that?Weird how no one worries about a fighter getting 3 attacks with advantage while mounted.
