Riding
RideSkill Compendium Details
Description
Riding represents the ability to ride and take care of any type of mount, including those that are aerial or aquatic. A mount must be at least one size category larger than the rider, and it has to be either trained or willing to carry a rider. Some mounts are also trained for combat, although natural predators do not require such training.
