i wanted toss this out there as I recently just made 5th level Soc on my Paly 6 / Divine Soc 5. This opened up 3rd level spells... and while I was looking at combos I noticed I could cast Spirit Guardians while mounted on my summoned paly mount, and per find steed spell wording have the spell affect the mount as well... This seemed like a lovely idea to me as it would drop a horrific amount of damage a round to anything with 15 feet of my PC in mounted combat. Doubling it up to either 3d8 + 3d8 or 4d8 + 4d8 depending on if I used a 3rd or 4th level slot.
Anybody ever play this way?
Thoughts? Even I think it’s OTT if it is actually aligned with the written rules... though not likely the spirit of the rules.

Ooh, thanks for pointing that out. That's a nasty combo that ... a Lore Bard can get at level 6.

I sing to life and to its tragic beauty
To pain and to strife, but all that dances through me
The rise and the fall, I've lived through it all!
Find Steed requires that the spell not target anything other than the caster. Since Spirit Guardians has a 15ft AOE, it would not work.
Ah, true. Should have looked closer at Find Steed.
