ters cover if it is about three-quarters covered
by an obstacle. e.g. a portcullis, arrow slit, or
tree trunk.
A target with total cover can’t be targeted
directly by an attack or a spell, but spells can
reach by including it in an area of effect.
Surprise
If neither side tries to be stealthy, they
automatically notice each other. Otherwise,
compare the Stealth checks of anyone hiding
with the PP score of each creature on the
opposing side. Character or monsters that
don’t notice a threat are surprised at the
start of the encounter. If surprised, you can’t
move, take an action or react during the first
turn of combat. A member of a group can be
surprised even if others aren’t.
Mounted Combat
Mounting and Dismounting
You can mount or dismount a creature within
5’. This costs half your movement.
If your mount moves against its will, you must
succeed on a DC 10 Dex check or land prone
in a space within 5’.
If knocked prone while mounted, you must
make the same saving throw. If a mount is
knocked prone, you can use your reaction to
dismount it as it falls and land on your feet.
Otherwise, you are dismounted and fall prone
within 5’.
Controlling a Mount
While mounted you can control the mount or
allow it to act independently.
Intelligent creatures, such as dragons, act
independently.
You can control a mount only if it has been
trained to accept a rider. The initiative of a
