Ride not granting AC until you take the feat Mounted Combat

[jubisloviu]

Description

Greetings, i've noticed earlier today my character not getting any AC after mounting on a horse even after investing 10 skill points ride.
I hopped on the PGCC to test this further and noticed hard ranks in ride not granting any AC until you take the mounted combat feat.
Now the wiki doesnt states the necessity of having the feat to acquire the Ride AC, and some recent-ish mechanical changes made it so you also dont need Tumble investment to get any riding AC anymore.

Upon testing on the PGCC this was my AC when i was unmounted (Currently 20 hard ranks into Tumble, and 30 hard ranks into riding



Them upon mounting on a horse i noticed i lost all my Tumble AC and got no AC from riding


Someone theorized it was subtracting AC from tumble and giving extra Dodge AC from Ride that doesnt shows in the sheet, but upon further testing that was not the case


Upon acquiring the Mounted Combat feat the AC from hard ranks into riding was finally added to my sheet

Can we get a confirmation on this? Is it a bug or feature?

To my knowledge that's working as intended:
- Tumble AC only applies while unmounted
- Mounted Combat represents the combat training required to maneuver a horse in battle, which is why the Ride skill based AC is tied to the feat.

There must have been a change then, Kalo. The announcement notes have ride hard ranks giving tumble without the feat and this was previously working as expected until recently.
