[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 2557743, member: 892"] Say I am mounted on a heavy warhorse (large creature, takes 4 squares) and I have a reach weapon (not a spiked chain). When not mounted, I threaten foes 2 squares away but not merely 1 square away. And as a medium creature I only occupy one square when not mounted. Now, according to the Sage Advice FAQ, when mounted I am treated as occupying all four squares simultaneously. Now, does this mean a) That there is a "safety zone" of the ring of squares immediately around the mount and then another ring of squares around that first ring that constitutes my threatened area while mounted? Or does this mean b) Since I occupy each of the four squares, I calculate my threatened area 4 times, once from each of those squares. With a reach weapon, this results in my threatening both the ring of squares immediately around my mount, and the ring of squares immediately around the first ring. A little diagram, where h1, h2, h3 and h4 equal the squares occupied by the horse, and the other numbered squares consitute threatened areas as calculated from each of the horse squares, assuming a reach weapon. Ignore the underscores -- I just used them to even things up. At least on my monitor. 1_ _12 12 12 12_ _2 13 234 34 34 134 24 13 _24 h1 h2 _13 24 13 _24 h3 h4 _13 24 13 124 12 12 123 24 3_ _34 34 34 _34 _4 (assuming this is not messed up, the above should describe a 6 by 6 square area, with the horse in the middle 4 sqares).
