Yet another mount question. Size this time.

[alsih2o]

If Guy A is on a large mount and Guy B is on a huge mount and they are standing side by side/face to face and smacking at each other should Guy B get a +2 or some such for being 'on higher ground'?

 

[Diirk]

+1 and yes.

When you attack a creature smaller than your mount that is on foot, you get the +1 bonus on melee attacks for being on higher ground.

Wouldn't this mean that the guy riding the huge mount would get a +1 bonus for attacking the OTHER mount, and not the smaller mount's rider?

Well they probably assume large mount / small creature. However huge > large so you still have higher ground even if the rules don't explicitly spell it out

But, what if it's an Ogre with a club on a Huge mount, facing a Medium sized creature on a Large mount, wielding a weapon with reach? Would a bunny hop by the Huge mount incur an AoO from the Medium rider with a lance at ready on the large mount?

Sorry, Mark, I just had to read, since you didn't mark it no read. I dropped my +1 mounted against the rider when I attacked, assuming he was higher than my guy. That's why I was making scrunchy "math" faces. I assumed you gave your guy the + against my guy. I went ahead and used the +1 on my attack against his mount, when I foolishly wasted a move doing that. Didn't consider its size being a factor there, but it turned out to make no difference anyhoo.

Was that critter really huge?
