[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 8226816, member: 1165"] I have not seen ostrich stats. I'm also not convinced they can be ridden in real life. Do you have a source for this? It would still be your ally. Some PCs argue a lot. Even married couples argue sometimes. I think WotC made an error by associating the figurine with Hades and simply never corrected it, probably deciding to follow the "rule of cool". No. The dragon is still intelligent, and wouldn't want to limit its actions. I imagine the dragon would consider itself superior to an elf (unless said elf is an archmage or something). The combo of independent actions is better than riding a "dumb" dragon anyway. Yes. Pathfinder 1e has the most detailed set of rules for attunement slots for non-human creatures I've seen. I think it depends on the mount. Assuming the mount is an unintelligent horse, no. You don't look the same, smell the same, or sound the same, and you cannot hold the reins while putting your feet in the stirrups, since you're too small and don't have hands. If it's an intelligent mount and can communicate with you somehow, sure, but note that intelligent mounts have different rules. That would depend on the mount. Can you even cast [i]geas[/i] on a horse? Could you command it in conjunction with Speak with Animals? I assume an unintelligent mount wouldn't care, and would simply be more cooperative. If the mount was an intelligent dragon, on the other hand, it would seek revenge the moment it is freed. (Of course that's a pretty powerful BBEG to command a dragon. Are they only 9th-level?) I tried. [/QUOTE]
