PCs as mounts for other PCs


Rules Questions


My wife and I are creating characters for a one shot, and we had this fun idea that I would act as her mount. She is a halfling, I'm a half-orc, and she would normally ride on my shoulders. She is planning on using a lance or a polearm of some sort - as a fighter - and I'm going to wield an orc weapon, most likely - I'm a bard.

Are there any posts out there that I could take a look at? My initial search yielded no results. Or, what are your thoughts on these mechanics?

GM has to decide if you're a suitable or ill-suited mount. Ill-suited mount gives a rider a -5 to all Ride checks. Fight with a combat-trained mount is a DC10 check and probably one of the most common you'll encounter. Read up on the Ride Skill.

I've got a similar setup with my roommate doing the Master-Blaster gig. We've received mixed results from GM's at PFS Tables.

It's a pretty common question.

Props, dude. This might be the single best paragraph ever written on this forum.

I have no other useful input.
