@JeremyECrawford Whenever you're mounted, where do your attacks, auras, etc. originate from? Keeping in mind that we're talking about a medium creature on a large mount. Do you just treat the PC as a large creature and go with it, or what?

Being mounted doesn't change your character's size. #DnD https://t.co/mZCRSoygnN

so would the aura originate from the centre of the mount? i.e. where you are on the mount?

Where are you on your mount? Wherever you moved on the mount. Your character doesn't become abstracted when you mount something. #DnD https://t.co/PAvt3xtwxJ

So you move within your mount's squares (if it's larger than you), using regular movement to do so? Meaning there can be times when an enemy can attack you but not your mount.
Thanks for your time clarifying things!

As DM, I’d place the rider’s miniature near the center of the horse.

Moving on your mount uses the movement rules. #DnD https://t.co/OE3y71HwfE

I could be wrong as I cannot site a source for this info but the point of origin is anywhere on the mount and the rider can be targeted anywhere his mount occupies. The rider’s size, as @JeremyECrawford explained, does not change. You're referring to a rule from a previous edition.

Ahh. Thank you. I fall into this line of thinking every once and a while. It’s hard to unlearn. So, the rider is simply a miniature on another miniature and is targeted and targets just like normal?That's correct.
