Hi guys, I have a questions about Armor spikes

Armor Spikes: You can have spikes added to your armor, which allow you to deal extra piercing damage (see "spiked armor" on Table: Weapons) on a successful grapple attack. You can also make a regular melee attack (or off-hand attack) with the spikes, and they count as a light weapon in this case.

Is that working like Constrict when Grapple? will deals extra piercing damage every time when I makes a successful grapple?

the mount won't loose it's dex if it has climb speed. creatures with climb speed keep their dex when climbing.

as for the rider. it's more up to the gm, i myself wouldn't make the rider loose his dex to ac, if the mount itself is agile enough and good enough in climbing to not loose it (as in it has a climb speed).

"A creature with a climb speed has a +8 racial bonus on all Climb checks. The creature must make a Climb check to climb any wall or slope with a DC higher than 0, but it can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened while climbing. If a creature with a climb speed chooses an accelerated climb (see above), it moves at double its climb speed (or at its land speed, whichever is slower) and makes a single Climb check at a –5 penalty. Such a creature retains its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) while climbing, and opponents get no special bonus to their attacks against it. It cannot, however, use the run action while climbing. "

So...the rider shouldn't lose their Dex/Dodge bonuses when giant gecko climb because they use the climbing speed of giant gecko?

So I'm riding a giant gecko, it has climbing speed. But when it climbed the wall, DM said I was climbing too, so I lose my Dexterity bonus to AC.
I did a lots research, but couldn't find any rules about that.
Anyone know anything about that? Thanks a lot!
