the chief can be targeted as normal in close combat.

In combat the skink can be targeted, he gains +1 to his armor save from being mounted. As for shooting you will need to randomize 1-4 monster 5-6 rider. This is all in the Howdah rules.

For the record this is the rule for all riders of monsters in the BRB

Oh no thanks was hoping for a 3 up save thanks for the reply.

You do get one additional "point" of armour for riding a monster, so:

6+ scaly skin
Light Armour
Shield
Riding a monster


Equals...

Drumroll!!!


3 + !!!





Swap the shield for an enchanted shield and get a glorious 2+ armour save ^_^

Also, the wording under the Howdah Crew special rule is particularly ambiguous and has been subject to a lot of debate. However, what's presented here is definitely the least controversial of the conclusions
