Sure, you can take a specific reading of it to mean "may or may not", but the alternative interpretation is just as valid. In other words, that one "may not" make a full round attack.The entire charging section discusses moving and attacking. Over and over and over again. It never once explicitly discusses moving and not attacking (unless you interpret "may" with your interpretation). For example:The word "may" is not restricted to your interpretation. There is no explicit "you can if you want to, but do not have to" wording here.Yes with this interpretation, it does mean that (even it you allow the horse to charge and not attack).Why would someone assume that charging is a special movement action? It is a special attack action according to RAW.But consider, would you allow the horse to do an Aid Another special attack action without making a Fight With Warhorse roll? How about a Bullrush?What is special about the Charge special attack action that would allow the overall action to be a movement, but not an attack and hence not require a Fight With Warhorse roll?I do not disagree with you as to how this should work. I am merely indicating that RAW does not explicitly agree with a loose "warhorses (or light horses) can charge while not charging" type of interpretation.Mounted combat is not really well defined in DND. There are a few holes.Yes, my point was only concerning minimum speed while flying and charging. And sure, you can do this with a feat. We were discussing non-war-trained mounts, not PCs with special feats.</blockquote>
