Just curious about Mounted Combat. If you're playing a character capable of teleportation, such as a warlock or an eladrin, what happens if you're on a mount?

Common thoughts about teleportation are that you can only teleport what you can carry. And unless you're a freak, you probably can't carry a horse (or horse-like animal).

Well carrying what you can carry is OK as long as what you are carrying isn't a creature. Otherwise teleportation effects specify how many creatures can be moved.
An Eladrin on a horse would wind up not on a horse -- unless you invent a magic item like a special saddle which allows it to go with you.

By that logic, you could have the teleport effect target the mount that is carrying you. :D

Except most in-combat teleportation effects are personal, meaning you can only target yourself.

It's a bad idea to have teleportation work on other creatures besides the one using the power. Neat and balanced don't always go hand in hand.

If they make that saddle, then my eladrin WILL be putting it on our dwarf warrior.

 :heehee That's the funniest thing i've ever heard on these forums!
But seriously, just make it so that it only works on critters that can qualify for the Mount keyword. I.e. quadrupeds of size Large and Larger and it'll take care of that exploit.

You could also create a special mount for Eladrin that allows this. Or a feat that allows an Eladrin to convey the ability to his mount instead of himself. I'd suggest the mount be gained through extensive role playing and not gained until Paragon or Epic levels, likewise the feat should fall into one of those categories.
