I'm currently in the process on finishing up my Pixie Sorcerer Character and I wanted to theme him around the idea that he's actually too lazy to fly himself, so instead he rides his Storm Talon familiar wherever he goes. I'm not sure on the rules though, so I checked out this thread, where it states the following:
Arcane Casters: How to ride your Familiar:
All this requires is the Familiar Mount ritual (Which you must cast yourself), and a little imagination as to how it works for some familiars. How exactly DO you get a saddle on a Tiny Gelatinous Cube? Note that this ritual does not actually turn your familiar into a mount, and thusly does not allow your familiar to use mount slot items
The Familiar Mount Ritual states:
Your familiar grows to Large size and can accommodate you as a rider, and it is in active mode for the duration. You can end the ritual by returning the familiar to passive mode with a minor action. If the familiar takes damage equal to 5 + one-half your level or more, it returns to its normal size and to passive mode.
However, since my character is a pixie and is therefore considered Tiny, I'm wondering if I would even need the Familiar Mount Ritual, as the Storm Falcon is considered Small and is thus bigger than me, so it should accommodate my size easily.
So in conclusion my question is this: Are there any rules I didn't consider or misinterpret for this matter? Because right now, it seems my Pixie would be able to mount and ride his Storm Talon without having to use either the ritual, saddles or anything in general.
