handle animal is CHA based^^ what has every Paladin? Cha^^ that aside, i put a point into, and Link is just for that, to prevent rolls for characters that should be acustomed to their mounts/animal companions, because they should be riding them for a while/living together with them in case of druids<br/><br/>edit: in the same vein: you don't need to ask me for guide your horse with knees in combat, mount-classes get the ability to ignore armor pen on their mount, and ofc i put a point into ride^^ ride bonus +7
