Leonidus 03-14-07, 09:00 PM	Reposted from a mounted-skirmish thread on the Classes forum. Figured this is a better spot for it. Here's what I came up with. Needs some playtesting, and I'm sure CharOp would rip these apart, but I like 'em. Mobile Scout Prerequisites Ride 5 ranks, Mounted Combat, skirmish ability Benefit Once per round when making an attack while mounted, you may apply skirmish damage to your attack, so long as you move the required 10 feet. In addition, as long as you move no more than double your mounted speed, when you would gain the AC bonus from skirmish, it applies to your mount, as well as yourself. Special A scout may select Mobile Scout as one of his scout bonus feats. Mobile Archery Prerequisites Ride 9 ranks, Mobile Scout, Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery, skirmish ability Benefit When making ranged attacks while mounted, you may apply skirmish damage to your ranged attacks, so long as you move the required 10 feet, but do not exceed double your mounted speed. Each attack beyond the first subtracts a d6 from your skirmish damage bonus. (Example: A 15th-level scout making a ranged full attack while mounted gains +4d6 damage on her first attack, +3d6 on her second attack, and +2d6 on her third.) Special A scout may select Mobile Archery as one of his scout bonus feats. Ride-By Scout Prerequisites Ride 9 ranks, Mobile Scout, Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack, skirmish ability Benefit While mounted, you may apply skirmish damage to a full attack, so long as you charge to your first target, maintain a straight line of movement, and move 10 feet between each attack. As with Ride-By Attack, you ignore Attacks of Opportinity, but only one attack is ignored per enemy per round. Your total movement can't exceed double your mounted speed. Special A scout may select Ride-By Scout as one of his scout bonus feats. Now, I'm realizing this last one does something that normal mounted stuff can't even do, to my knowledge. Any suggestions or changes? (I might make a regular mounted feat that does this, the charge-attack-move10-attack-etc, then make a feat to allow skirmish on the secondary attacks.)
