For some context, we use a battle grid with hexes fairly regularly. When a paladin is mounted on a large creature (warhorse, elk, who really cares), where does their Aura originate from? As I understand mounted combat, you are occupying the space of your mount, and for a lot of basic stuff with a large mount, you are considered to just be in that large area somewhere. However, extending the paladin's aura while ok in the short term, might lead to problems if the paladin is mounted on huge creature, such as a dragon or something. However, just picking a hex could lead to the paladin's mount taking up more of the aura than strictly necessary and weakening the aura by allowing fewer opportunities for other players to benefit. So, is there an official answer? And whether or not there is an official answer of RAW, how do most people rule on this and does that rule stay the same if the paladin got a mount that would take up the entire space of their aura, like a dragon.</blockquote>
