Halfling beastmaster ranger riding his mount and dual wielding lances? Seems silly as **** but should be decently potent no?

Isn't this the exact premise of Easy Lee's Breaking Beastmaster thread?
This is true, and although I think Easy Lee was completely wrong here, many people did this. There are way better ways to use the Beastmaster.Quote:

the idea with a small race is that your mount is medium tho letting you take it inside dungeons and stuff easily I think. :)Quote:

Intelligent ridden creatures can either be controlled or uncontrolled. If they are controlled they act on your initiative, do what you want and can only dash, disengage or dodge. Basically the same as not being awakened. If they are uncontrolled then they act on their own initiative, do whatever they want regardless of your input and can take any action, including attacking.Quote:
