I didn't want to post for the Waverunner encounter until I had some resolution for my seagull-strafe of the Sovereign several days earlier game-time... wasn't certain if I'd made it out alive, for example

If I'm definitely intact, though, I can post for the Waverunner...

DOh, I knew I missed something. I'll post tonight

Ferrix: I hate doing this, as usually my view of the rules are pretty lax, but: The Skirmish rules indicate (including the errata) that you yourself have to move, not your mount. Movement under your own violation is required in order to recieve the benefits of the skirmishing ability. Unless anyone would like to give be a convincing arguement against of course...

Well, there are two issues here, really.

Firstly - there's really no ambiguity in "The skirmish ability cannot be used while mounted." a'Shelys is mounted; the Skirmish ability cannot be used.

But secondly - a'Shelys was posted to the Rogues' Gallery on July 27, and the errata didn't exist before August 3. a'Shelys was created as a mounted skirmisher - that's the whole point of the character, mechanically - and at the time he was created, it was perfectly legal.

It depends whether or not you want to retroactively impose the new ruling on an old character.

If we were to create this party today, I'd have no hesitation in saying "Mounted Skirmish doesn't work". But I'm not sure I'd be so quick to say "Mounted Skirmish doesn't work any more"... particularly not in a game where the "view of the rules is pretty lax"

If he was designed to be a mounted skirmisher, you could always change the ability to Mounted Skirmish, or make a mouted skirmish feat that lets it work while mounted.

 

[Ferrix]

He was designed to be a mounted skirmisher, before the errata was posted skirmish worked fine with mounts. Otherwise I would have gone a totally different direction.

Ok then, as a formal decision my feet are planted in the 'I couldn't care less' camp. The rules of D&D have never bothered me too much, I accepted your character so I'm willing to take it as a Mounted Skirmisher on two conditions.

1. Nobody else has a problem with it.
2. You post the stats for your mount in your character thread in the RG (easier for me )

Hi, I was wondering if you might wedge in a spot for me to play in game. If there is a slight shot then I can get you a character concept for review fairly quickly and a write-up not long after that.
