Hey all, I have 2 players that want to make a Dragonkin-Dragonrider duo, and I was wondering how it worked. The rules on riding doesn't seem to tell how flying and the Dragonkin is affected by having a rider on him. So here are a few questions:
-How is the Dragonkin affected by having a mount? Does he lose AC, Reflex or anything at all?
-Can he still fly with Average mobility as if he had nothing on his back?
-How is the Rider affected? AC, Ref, Spell, etc. How can he make a charge attack (with a Pike for example) if the only way to move is when the DKin moves?
-Are attack of opportunities calculated the same way? One for the DKin and one for the Rider?
-I imagine everything AoE hit both regardless? What I mean by that is if my AoE hits only one square where the DKin is, it still hits the rider.
Their idea was to ride around casting spells, while the Dragon hits people from above with his 15ft reach.
