Mount restrictions

    I assume that there are illusions that are not compatible with mounts due to graphics limitations. But why can't we still get the run speed associated with the mount? Would this be too "OP"?

    If we were able to get the mount speed while not mounted that would defeat the main purpose of mounts, they wouldn't be limited to outdoor zones anymore either. The only illusions that I am aware of that work with mounts are skeletons and playable races.

    I think mostly the overall illusion-mount conflict is an acceptable concession to game engine & programmer/artist limitation. The exception that does disappoint me is TBL jann not being able to ride TBL carpets.

    There are also other restrictions, like mounts preventing you from using specials (kick, bash, etc.).

    Same for me, especially as the Jan NPCs in TBL can ride mounts!

    Being on a mount prevents bash? I had no idea!

    Is there a comprehensive list of mount-blocked skills somewhere i can look at?

    Frenzy too. Took me an embarrassing amount of time to learn that on my berserker box.

    I am fairly sure all specials, so Kick, Backstab, Bash, Frenzy, Slam, Tiger Claw, Round Kick, Eagle Strike, Dragon Punch/Tail Rake, and Flying Kick.

    you can: Bash, kick and frenzy and im fairly certain backstab on a mount


    you cant: Flying Kick, Tiger Claw, Eagle Strike, Round Kick, Dragon Punch, Tail Rake from a mount...makes me sad...i still think certain mounts make sense (carpets, whirligig) you should tots be able to do these mounted on those.

    Bash and Kick work. Frenzy and Backstab do not.

    Slam does not work.
