09-09-07, 08:41 AM Do mobility and spring attack work while mounted?

It says you get bonus stuff for your movement.

eg mobility.

You make AoO's if you move out of space.
Now you get +4 vs that from feat.

However mounted movement.....
Do you still provoke the AoO?
You are moving, however on a mount.

Second..... if yes to above, then would you get the +4?

Same goes for spring attack as its different to ride by, thats charging only, spring isnt.

09-09-07, 11:59 PM It would vary from feat to feat.

Mobility would apply, as the feat is triggered "when you move out of or within a threatened area". It doesn't require you to have used your own motivation.

Spring attack is a little trickier. It allows you to move before and after using the attack action. However, it doesn't specifically allow your mount to move, so I would say it doesn't apply (unless you want to fast dismount and keep moving that way).

P.S. And yes, moving out of a threatened square on a mount provokes and AoO (by both you and the mount).

09-10-07, 12:32 AM Well they both use the same sort of terminology.
It states "you move" in both of them.

Surely there cant be a mix up here. The use of the same terminology would mean you either get it for both or neither.
