===Mounted Combat===

=====Horses in Combat=====

[[SRD:Horse|Warhorses]] and [[SRD:War Pony|war ponies]] can serve readily as combat steeds. [[SRD:Light Horse|Light horses]], [[SRD:Pony|ponies]], and [[SRD:Heavy Horse|heavy horses]], however, are [[SRD:Frightened|frightened]] by combat. If you don’t dismount, you must make a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 20 [[SRD:Ride Skill|Ride]] check each [[SRD:Round|round]] as a [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]] to control such a horse. If you succeed, you can perform a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] after the [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]]. If you fail, the [[SRD:Move Actions|move action]] becomes a full [[SRD:Round|round]] action and you can’t do anything else until your next turn.

Your mount acts on your initiative count as you direct it. You move at its speed, but the mount uses its action to move.

A [[SRD:Horse|horse]] (not a [[SRD:Pony|pony]]) is a Large creature and thus takes up a space 10 feet (2 squares) across. For simplicity, assume that you share your mount’s space during combat.

=====Combat while Mounted=====

With a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 5 [[SRD:Ride Skill|Ride]] check, you can guide your mount with your knees so as to use both hands to attack or defend yourself. This is a [[SRD:Free Actions|free action]].

When you attack a creature smaller than your mount that is on foot, you get the +1 bonus on [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attacks]] for being on higher ground. If your mount moves more than 5 feet, you can only make a single [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attack]]. Essentially, you have to wait until the mount gets to your enemy before attacking, so you can’t make a full attack. Even at your mount’s full speed, you don’t take any penalty on [[SRD:Melee Attack|melee attacks]] while mounted.

If your mount charges, you also take the [[SRD:AC|AC]] penalty associated with a charge. If you make an attack at the end of the charge, you receive the bonus gained from the charge. When charging on horseback, you deal double damage with a lance (see Charge).

You can use [[SRD:Ranged Weapon|ranged]] weapons while your mount is taking a double move, but at a –4 penalty on the [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]]. You can use [[SRD:Ranged Weapon|ranged weapons]] while your mount is running (quadruple speed), at a –8 penalty. In either case, you make the [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]] when your mount has completed half its movement. You can make a [[SRD:Full-Attack Action|full attack]] with a [[SRD:Ranged Weapon|ranged weapon]] while your mount is moving. Likewise, you can take [[SRD:Move Actions|move actions]] normally

=====Casting Spells while Mounted=====

You can cast a [[SRD:Spells|spell]] normally if your mount moves up to a normal move (its speed) either before or after you cast. If you have your mount move both before and after you cast a spell, then you’re casting the spell while the mount is moving, and you have to make a [[SRD:Concentration Skill|Concentration]] check due to the vigorous motion ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 + [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]]) or lose the spell. If the mount is running (quadruple speed), you can cast a spell when your mount has moved up to twice its speed, but your [[SRD:Concentration Skill|Concentration]] check is more difficult due to the violent motion ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 + [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]]).

=====If Your Mount Falls in Battle=====

If your mount falls, you have to succeed on a [[SRD:DC|DC]] 15 [[SRD:Ride Skill|Ride]] check to make a soft fall and take no damage. If the check fails, you take 1d6 points of damage.

=====If You Are Dropped=====

If you are knocked [[SRD:Unconscious|unconscious]], you have a 50% chance to stay in the [[SRD:Saddle|saddle]] (or 75% if you’re in a [[SRD:Saddle|military saddle]]). Otherwise you fall and take 1d6 points of damage.

Without you to guide it, your mount avoids combat.
