Mounted Combat/Skilled Riders


How I do Mounted Combat.

What is included in the Mounted Combatant Feat on page 168 of the fifth edition players handbook.

1. The Mounts Movement becomes your move while mounted.
-The riding horse has a move of 60ft, you have a 30ft move.Horse moved 30ft and you dismount, you would have 15ft remaining left of your own movement.

2. If the mount has an attack, use a bonus action to have it make one attack.
-Make a animal handle check of 10 plus the challenge rating of the animal. Riding horse is a challenge rating of 1/4, so DC 10 (round down) you succeed attack with the creature.
If the creatures Challenge rating is higher use that as the Challenge Rating DC instead.
ex. Guardian Naga is a Challenge of 10, the DC would be 20 to command the horse to attack a large monstrosity serpent.
*This does not apply to medium or small humaniods (orcs,goblins,hobgoblins,etc...)

3. You can use a Disengage action on a charge but it costs a bonus action and you must be doing a ride by, not stopping. This does not allow the horse to attack, just you.

4. You can only do one attack while doing a Ride by attack.
