Rules for Mass-Combat & Megafauna-Riding

mobs will take half damage from attacks, spells and effects, that target only one creature
mobs will take double damage from spells and effects, that target multiple creatures
mobs have advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that target only one creature
mobs cannot be grappled
mobs that hit with a melee attack roll, also can try to grapple a non-mounted character

when you take damage, you have to pass a Strength saving throw to not “loose” your mount
the DC for this saving throw is 1/2 the damage taken … minimum 10
characters with the Mounted Combatant Feat gain advantage on this saving throw
failing this save dismounts you, and you are prone (unless you are a Cavalier)
while mounted, you can Charge:
- when you move at least 20 feet in a straight line and hit with a melee weapon attack, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action against the same target
while mounted, your steed grants you additional features:
- Smilodons Speed 50 feet & 1 “Legendary Resistance” to stay on your mount
- Mammoth Speed 40 feet & your melee attacks deal x2 damage against Mobs (s.a. )
- Pteranodon Speed 60 feet (flying) & you have Disadvantage on Strength saving throws
- Triceratops Speed 50 feet & you gain half-cover torwards your front facing

if you don’t have a mount (or want a different one),
you can get one with the “Tame Megafauna” Downtime Activity
