[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8988214, member: 7006"] In order for the game to make mounts and ships more meaningful to characters, they need to not pool all the advancement mechanics needed to be effective at them in the same bucket as land-based effects. Any time a player has to choose to use one of their few Feats on a Mounted Combat option OR a standard combat option... they will always take the standard option because it will get used much more often. Likewise any sailing options and the like-- no one will spend their limited resources on something that only occasionally will come up in the game. If the game wants people to have better mechanical options for characters on mounts or sailing vessels... every game mechanic (such as Feats) needs to have as part of its description how the Feat is used/expanded/changed) while on the backs of animals or on ships. So if a player selects it, they know the Feat will be useful in every type of situation. [/QUOTE]
