Duration: Permanent once practiced
Generally you buy your mounts in Livery stables. The ones that you buy are
automatically charmed and will start following you, as soon as they land in
the room. There are also some wild animals that you can mount, like wild
horses. These will have to be TAMED first. Only charmed mounts can be
ordered though.
MOUNTS are most useful when you are low level and have limited move points.
While you are mounted, you'll only take 30% of the move points. You can also
order your mount to sleep, in which case it will regenerate move points a lot
faster than yourself. Once you are mounted you can move as usual, by just
typing the direction. (You don't have to type 'ride east').
There are saddles and bridles for sale, which often increase the move points
of the mount. You give them to the mount and then order it to wear them.
If you come across a HURDLE, while mounted, you'll have to ORDER your mount to
jump it.
Some combat skills like TRAMPLE and JOUST can only be used if you are mounted.
Some mounts can also suddenly turn against you if your alignment gets the
wrong way. Mounts stop following you once you quit so don't forget to ask
equipment back before you log out.
CENTAURS are the only PC race that can be mounted, but only on consent. (Use
the command NOMOUNT to toggle the consent on or off.)
The centaurs can also use the trample and joust skills directly, mainly
because they aren't able to ride themselves. With the command buck centaurs
can try to toss players from their back.
