View Full Version : [3.5/Pathfinder] How do mounts affect APL?

I'm running a sandbox game and mounts have gone from an ancillary feature of the game to becoming central to the game. The end result is that the whole party of players are getting tricked out with mounts.

When the combat tricks get added onto these mounts, the end result is that the whole party is almost doubled in size. In particular the heavy horse, combat trained, is a pretty valuable contributor in the low levels during combat encounters.

The APL rules don't go into any detail on mounts and I'd like to fine tune the APL of the party now so that I can build up CR encounters that are going to take into account this beefed up troupe of characters.

Has anyone broken this out in better detail?
