Centaur On a Mount?

[Dragero]

I was reading through RotW and I noticed, it says nowhere that a centaur cannot ride a mount.....This give me ideas on how I can annoy other players/the dm.

Bob: "ok guys lets go to the dungeon!"

Me(centaur)" Ok wait a minute, I have to get on my horse"

Bob:"Wtf? Dude your half-horse...."

Me:" Your point?"

Yo dawg, I herd u like equines...

[Lysander]

Except that a heavy warhorse can't carry more than 900 pounds, and a centaur will weigh more than that.

Dang, you beat me to it!

Who says the mount has to be a warhorse. You can get a sandworm (ashworm) as a mount.

Take a moment and digest that mental image.

[Flarp]

Take a moment and digest that mental image.

Augh. My brain. It's on fire. Ow.

[Starscream]

No, a centaur would use some sort of human shaped creature as a mount. Probably a Goliath, or one of the smaller giants.

And when you ride it, you get some sort of Frightful Presence equivalent called "What Th-!". when an enemy sees you on your mount they must make a will save or be stunned for the next round, exclaiming "What Th-!"

[Siegel]

Ride a giant crap

[deuxhero]

Except that a heavy warhorse can't carry more than 900 pounds, and a centaur will weigh more than that.

And a centar is large anyways and needs a huge mount.

[Dr.Epic]

What? No. This concept will not and work and were I you DM I'd tell you to stop being ridiculous and get me a coookie for your foolishness.

There's a dirty joke just dying to be made here.

Glad I am not the only one thinking it

[mregecko]

I was always giggled at the thought of what a Centaur Paladin would summon as his or her mount...

There used to be a creature in 2E that was like a flying Manta Ray... I could see that.

[Grumman]

I'd say no, a centaur cannot ride a mount. The closest you could have is a chariot or a howdah.

[Morithias]

I believe that a centaur cannot ride a mount. Under one of the inevitable monsters. It was stated that the monster qualified for feats as if it had mounted-combat. "Due to it's Centaur like design." I believe that a centaur can take mounted combat feats, however it does not use them with a mount. It uses them with it's own body.

How do you think they make quarter horses?

[CTLC]

Centar on a mount?
thats how baby centaurs are made.
but seriously, you cannot until your character is of a legal age, and you must have consent from the mount. you take a -4 ride penalty.

[Mystic Muse]

So you want your centaur to mount a mount?

alternatively, you want your centaur to ride a mount?

[9mm]

sadly... I've seen that joke put into practice.

also, centaurs don't need mounts because they count as being mounted on themselves.

now there's a mental image I didn't need.

[hamishspence]

Races of Faerun made the similar joke, in this case (mustang, here, meaning horse)

"It is rumoured that centaurs are the descendant of some mad cross between a wild elf and a wild mustang, but both the centaurs and the elves categorically deny it. The mustangs have no opinion on the matter"

[Sstoopidtallkid]

What? No. This concept will not and work and were I you DM I'd tell you to stop being ridiculous and get me a coookie for your foolishness.

Are you telling me that you would seriously look down on a centaur mounted on a bulette? Because that screams awesome to me.

[Frosty]

Centaur Paladins need an Alternative Class Feature at level 5.

Maybe an elephant? A giant? Seige crab (think it's huge...)

Make a mental image of each of those.....then think about how a centaur gets onto an elephant, and how it stays up.

Like I said, use a Bulette. Human-horse riding a landshark.

[Swok]

Really centaur paladins just get Charging Smite.

Or Summon Rider.

[Innis Cabal]

This did not go unnoticed.

So like, since, while, mounted, you can wield a lance with one hand...and you're considered mounted...you could Dual-Wield Lances, go Spirited Charge, Leap attack, take the Two-Weapon Pounce feat, and then Smite Evil with both attacks for...uber damage?

Let's see...that's 2x [(Large Lance damage x3) + (Str Bonus x3) + (Power Attack bonus x5) + (Paladin level x9)] correct?

[ericgrau]

A humanoid with a jackal head to ride him, naturally.

There are more efficient methods than Two-Weapon Pounce (ones which grant you a real full attack in your charge), and TWF + Power Attack is generally a bad idea. Just because you can wield the lance in one hand doesn't mean you should - if possible find some kind of exotic lance and using the Exotic Weapon Master's Uncanny Blow ability.

true. Getting Pounce is also fine, but requires dipping Barbarian which is chaotic. Or requires dipping into ToB.
