So, the argument came up that Stealth and Skilled rider doesn't stack. they guy said that Skilled rider does not affect anything other than a Jink save, and it wouldn't stack with stealth and/or shrouding.

They have no clue what theyre alking about.

Jink just provides a cover save, if the model moves. Anything that improves cover saves will improve a jink privided cover save

so skilled rider does bump up a stealth induced cover save?

Skilled rider only bump up cover save provided by jink, but stealth will also improve that cover save because stealth. So, a normal 5+ jink(cover save) will be 4+ with skilled rider, and 3+ if you have stealth on top of that. But a stealth-induced cover save, ie the permenant 6 cover save that you get for having stealth will not be bumped by skilled rider.

Least that's how I understand it.

No. Skilled Rider only bumps up a Save if it is caused by Jink.

But it stacks with Stealth and Shrouding in that case.

Yep... well stealth adds to the jink save.

sweet thanks

Just in case someone calls you out on it in the future and you need to show where you are coming to this conclusion.

On page 32 is a section titled A Compendium of Special Rules, which you should be able to easily find and show them. The last sentence in the last paragraph states that you have permission to combine different special rules, unless it states otherwise in the rule itself of course. That should be enough to resolve the situation in your favor, as you do have permission to stack the effect of these rules.

thank you for the page number!
