Hello everyone like i said in the title a couple of friends and i just started playing the game and are all at 2nd level (our DM is also a first timer). I was just wondering on this.
I have a Ranger already which i have a generally good grasp on how to use so for now no questions there.
My questions start with the Druid i just made (In case my ranger dies just a backup PC) i rolled the stats and spected him for having a animal companion and the race i choose was a half ling so i wanted to have the ability to mount said pet so as not to slow down the party. I was going to go with an Ape or Cheetah but our DM isn't sure how that would translate toward riding it. the PC only weighs about 30lbs so i would assume it would be no biggy just need some advice from people who know what they are doing. Thanks in advance!!!
