Riding allows you and an ally to stack onto the same square, and move as one. | Riding allows you and an ally to stack onto the same square, and move as one. While mounted, you and your mount move at your mount's speed, however this speed is reduced at low levels of Riding. Furthermore, there are major defensive bonuses. Your mount takes damage before you in most cases, and if they are reduced to 0hp, they fall unconscious instead of dying. This means that a well-defended mount can effectively protect its rider. However, there are also several downsides, such as reduced accuracy for both characters, and reduced speed if your Riding skill is not high enough. | ||
