Re: [Basic] Skill of the week: Mount and Riding
On the specific topic . . . first, Riding, this is a pretty binary skill in my experience
Either characters
A - don't have it (they are not a mounted fighter)
or
B - Have it, have spent a lot in it, have related techniques and perks and such to go with it (they are a mounted fighter)
Also, I don't recall ever seeing a character take riding without also having the buy in of an Ally mount
Generic off the shelf horses seem to be very expensive, very flimsy, and not particularly helpful, so anyone dreaming of being a mounted fighter wants an Ally
The most common I've seen in play is Riding (Pegasus), followed by either Riding (Horse) or Riding (Dragon), and also seen Riding (Dog), Riding (Clockwork Hummingbird) and Riding (Void Manta) . . . the latter three being one offs
Mount - Almost all Ally mounts will put 1, and only 1, point in this. I don't recall ever seeing any deviation from the 1 and only 1 approach
