-For the record, if a mount has multiple riders and a rider is targeted, //which// rider is one is selected at random. The biggest rider's Size is used for determining the chances for that first roll, though absolutely no units currently in the game have riders of heterogenous sizes.+For the record, if a mount has multiple riders and a rider is targeted, //which// rider gets targeted is selected at random.

 Just for an example of the missile situation, say an ??Archer?? is trying to hit the ??Elephant Rider?? on a ??War Elephant??. Say the projectile ends up in the War Elephant's square, and say that there isn't an un-mounted unit sharing the square to get targeted instead. The War Elephant's Size is 9, while the three guys (the Rider and two Archers) on the Elephant are each Size 3. Only one rider's Size is counted, and the size gap is over 4, so the War Elephant has a 7-in-8 (3/4 + 1/4 x 1/2) chance of being targeted. The remaining 1-in-8 chance of being hit is equally divided between the three, so the Elephant Rider proper has roughly a 1-in-24 chance of being shot. Just for an example of the missile situation, say an ??Archer?? is trying to hit the ??Elephant Rider?? on a ??War Elephant??.

 There are a few special hits that will only hurt a mount, and not their rider. [[Trample]], for instance, will only hurt a mount. The same is true for the ??Earthquake?? spell, though not for the portion that only happens in [[Caves]].  There are a few special hits that will only hurt a mount, and not their rider.

-What hits can hit **both** a mount and their rider? All area-of-effect ("AOE") hits, other than Trample or Earthquake. All {{:abilities:resist_shock.png?nolink}} <color #4169e1>**Shock Damage**</color>, too.+What hits can hit **both** a mount and their rider?
