#1 DBGreece Apr 16, 2015 0:16:02	Hi again, I have another question with my Halfling Rogue 7. Recently he became the owner of a Young Copper Dragon and he rides it on its neck in battle. What I am wondering is if when I am attacking from on top of him, do I get my sneak attack dice since anyone I would be attacking would have another enemy within 5 feet of it, or do I not get the sneak because I am mounted on top of a mount? Any help would be appreciated and I can explain more about the Halfling or the Rogue if need be.     Thanks in advance, -DBGreece

Now, there might be situations where I'd rule not due to the mount not really being an enemy of the target (say, attacking the guy whose horse you're stealing), but on your own mount? Yeah, I think that works.

#10 DBGreece Apr 16, 2015 12:33:59	Thanks for all the help guys, that's what I thought the answer would be, but Mr and the DM weren't sure so we were both going to be looking around for next week's game. And I doubt that the dragon thinks I'm merely *it's* pet as technically Darell is the dragons mom, I guess? Lol. Thanks again, -DBGreece
