A PC can ride on another PC if the second PC is at least two size categories larger than them; this might be a Tiny novian in their osharu teammate's backpack, or it might be a leshy on an urog's shoulder. However, doing this requires a tremendous amount of coordination to ensure the smaller PC doesn't get in the way or that the two PCs don't jostle each other into losing actions. As a result, for most parties, this tactic is less favorable than the smaller PC just using a vehicle. If a PC who is at least two sizes smaller rides along with another PC or with a similar non-minion intelligent creature, roll both for initiative but use the lower of the two results. The two PCs act in either order on the same initiative count. While traveling in this way, the PCs each gain two actions at the start of their turns instead of three, since the larger PC must spend one action keeping the smaller PC balanced on their back, and the smaller PC must spend one action maintaining their grip. Some ancestries specialize in being able to carry smaller riders or have feats to enable this, such as the Mount feat.
