Can another PC mount me while I'm shapechanged into a mount?

I'm sorry if this has already been covered and I haven't seen it, but I was kind of wondering if this was allowed: Say I shapechanged into a horse would a pc be allowed to mount me and ride me like any other horse or is this considered abuse of the skill?

Shapechanged mounts

Yes, it is possible to 'mount' a PC and have them carry you about.

You must be GROUPed with the character who will carry you and the rider uses the command 'Mount <name>'

The sizes of the mount and the rider will determine whether this is possible. Also, all of the usual code checks around riding a mount will apply.

If the rider is not particularly skilled or is riding bare-backed then they will fall from a shapechanged PC as readily as from their own pets and mounts.

Finally, be aware of the guidelines around shapechanging and ensure that the mount is appropriate in both size and shape.
Remember, should you encounter an angry Dragon and your only company is a Halfling...
...you do not need to run faster than the Dragon, only the halfling.

It's a wolverine, not a skunk... sheesh
