Message: <blockquote data-quote="RigaMortus2" data-source="post: 5738103" data-attributes="member: 11586">So I have a few quick questions about what feats are needed for making a summoner who has a mount-based eidolon, which will eventually be a flying mount-based eidolon...I am looking to incorporate a few different attack options here, and I need to know what skills/feats/evolutions may be necessary.For low levels (below level 5, before I can get Fly evo) I would like to make a standard mount-based eidolon I could ride on the back of and charge with a lance.  I suppose I will need the Ride Skill and associated feats (Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack, Spirited Charge) if I really want to buff this up.1) If I get the Fly evolution for the eidolon, does the eidolon need points in the Fly skill?  Do I need points in the Fly skill if I intend to Fly mounted on the back if it? I am unclear if we both need to sink points into Fly.  It seems kinda silly to me that a creature that can fly on its own would need to make skill checks for it.2) Once my eidolon has Fly evolution, and I want to do a Fly-By-Attack from the back of the eidolon, what feats/skills will we both need?-I know Fly-By Attack is a feat option for the eidolon.  Would Ride-By Attack work as a feat for the summoner?  Does one supercede the other?  Do I need both?3) If my eidolon has the pounce evolution, and I am mounted on the back of it, and it takes a full round action to charge, it gets all its attacks (because of pounce).  Can I still make my attack from the back of it?I may have other questions which I will re-post here as they come up.</blockquote>
