[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 194035, member: 111"] A mounted trample works against your charge target only if you have Ride-by Attack (required for Spirited Charge). Why? Because a charge normally must end in the first square in which you threaten you opponent. Overrun (which is how you get trample) is done during the move part of teh charge, which comes before the attack. Ride-by attack changes the rules so that you move both before and after teh charge attack, so you could move, attack, then move more right through your enemy, using trample. Worst case is you end up 5' in front of you enemy, prone. Unlikely when mounted - it's generally very touch to succeed in a trip attack against a paladin's mount. The good news is that you would have already successfully attacked. Would I use Trample? Not unless I really needed to go right through the enemy's square. Normally I'd go right by him, avoiding any AoO and not puttin the mount at risk. [/QUOTE]
