8th Ed. Dragonbane Gem + Engine of the Gods

[thunderingblue]

Will the dragonbane gem on a skink priest confer its ward save to the mount as well? Specifically from a flaming magical cannonball strike?

 

[Stonecutter]

Unfortunately not. The talisman only protects the rider when the rider and mount can be attacked separately (i.e. when the mount is a monster or chariot). Thus, while the priest might live, steggie is going to have eat the flaming shot.
