Quick question...

1 Did you count the squares you were squeezing as double?


Squeezing
In some cases, you may have to squeeze into or through an area that isn’t as wide as the space you take up. You can squeeze through or into a space that is at least half as wide as your normal space. Each move into or through a narrow space counts as if it were 2 squares, and while squeezed in a narrow space you take a -4 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to AC.


It should take you 40' of movement to get to the R/S 1/2 square...

Nevermind, light warhorses have a 50' movement. I miscalculated that one o_O.

Hmm... I'm not sure if you can attack after a mount double moves. If so, I'm dead. :smallbiggrin:

According to the rules (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#mountedCombat) for Mounted Combat, "You move at its speed, but the mount uses its action to move." So Strit gets a full action regardless of what the (war trained) mount is doing, double moves included. The only restriction comes later:


If your mount moves more than 5 feet, you can only make a single melee attack. Essentially, you have to wait until the mount gets to your enemy before attacking, so you can’t make a full attack.

I haven't checked the rest of the thread, but if "If so, I'm dead," then Arrows is dead.

Strit wins and collects the loot.

[SamTheCleric]

Well fought, good sir.

Just so you know, the ride check to negate an attack only applies to the mount, not the rider. You can make a ride check to gain cover from the mount though. :)

[curtis]

May your sword swing true and your arrows hit their mark.
