I have noticed a few named characters are mounted and have paired weapons. Can they use them while mounted and still have the extra attack for a paired weapon?
Also If I have a character that is mounted on, say a manticor in this instance, could I give them the fencer's blades and still get all the goodness they have?

Re: Paired Weapons and Mounts
I have had a quick look over the rule book and come to the conclusion that paired weapons will give an extra attack even when mounted. It gives the special rule "extra attack". No part of the extra attack rule mentions no attack when mounted.
The rule saying no extra attack when mounted applies directly to having an additional hand weapon, as seen in the list of various hand weapons in the BRB.
Hopefully that was clear enough to be some help.
So, by that result, yes you will gain all the benefits from paired weapons, such as fencers blades, even when mounted.
