Four Halfling Barbarians.
In our case, it was the Ladder of Doom: a druid wildshaped into a warhorse mounted by a bugbear mounted by a human with a halfling on their back.
Our DM forced us to roll checks and use our actions to mount up, but we did it anyway. Ladder strats were banned after that.
Wouldn’t this not work? You can only mount things s as size larger. I think humans and bug bears are both medium.
In 2024, humans can be Small, but then the halfling won't fit. And if a bugbear was Large, it wouldn't fit on a warhorse.
Ahem, rule of cool.
Probably wasn’t kosher RAW, but none of us had any idea what we were doing at the time.
IIRC, we chose the bugbear because it was the only playable large option in the books we had (listed as med/large), but I could definitely be misremembering.
They're Medium, but they have Powerful Build, which means they count as one size larger when determining their carrying capacity and the weight they can push, drag, or lift.
mount on top of yes. mount behind, same size
DM’s a size queen
My guess is someone doesn't like that Halfling get to reroll 1s.
Half ling, half luck, all banned
Them don't play 5e
Sounds like a good case for a house rule. Limit Lucky to one per short/long rest
Sounds like a good case to find another DM. If they think something as small as Halfling Luck is bad enough that they have to ban it or restrict to once per short rest, then it's clear they don't know how to balance their game.
