Normal Reward and Riding
I attempted to ride a horse but it said I needed 6 in ride to ride one. The Mechanical Changes post states you do not need points in ride but only a Normal Reward. What is a normal reward, how does this work because the horses look great!

You're probably talking of this:
Please see http://wiki.arelith.com/Riding
Have fun!
This is outdated.Mechanical Changes wrote:• Ride: Is not needed to ride horses (this requires only a Normal Reward), but is used in the wyvern riding fast travel system in the Underdark (details of this system are FOIG).
Please see http://wiki.arelith.com/Riding
Please note, questions generally belong in the Q&A Section of the forum.Arelith Wiki wrote:You need at least 6 points in Ride to get on a horse. Being at the bare minimum means that you are likely to be thrown off the mount, while having a score of 30 means you are never going to be thrown off.
Mounted Combat: Riders suffer from 10% Spell Failure unless they have the Mounted Combat feat.
The Mounted Combat feat adds +1 melee AB instead of the normal bonus.
Mounted Archery remains unmodified.
It is impossible to ride in caves or indoors areas.
Riders keep 1 point of AC gained from tumble for every 5 points in ride. AC gained does not exceed amount from tumble, but can be less if ride skill is less than tumble (14 ride, 15 tumble will only maintain 2 AC).
Lances may only be wielded when on horseback.
There are different breeds of horses, that will react differently to the race of the rider.
Every 3 points in Ride (ignoring dex but counting items) will add 1% of riding speed. These bonuses cap at 10% to 30%, depending the quality and nature of the breed of horse.
Characters with the now-disabled Riding Award: May still summon their horses.
Granted a 5 + Hit Dice Ride bonus.
Have fun!

Honestly, I don't know why we have a mechanical changes subforum (that was supposed to be kept up to date every time a new update came out) when it's often more outdated than the wiki.
Re: Normal Reward and Riding
Thank you for the answer. Now I have to decide if it's worth it or not.

Re: Normal Reward and Riding
I'm pretty when I went to use my greater reward one of the options that appeared was to use it on riding. So the option still seem to appear in the startup area.

It's extra good for halflings because when you get on a horse it turns into a cute little pony :3
