Mounts

Armour on your mount, and a mount that bites back.

Barding you can see, mounts that fight while you ride, traits for each kind, saddle bags on every mount and a seat that sits right. The name in brackets is the setting to ask your admin for.

Mounts that fight back

Mount traits

Wolves: heal from their bites.Setting: Mount traits
Boars: knock foes back at a run.
Deer: jump for less stamina.
Trolls: stagger easier.

Saddles and seats

Saddle bags: pet packs fit deer, trolls and big tames too.
Sitting right: you sit on top of the saddle, even on big starred tames, and the seat height moves you up or down.Setting: Saddle seat height
Getting off: off a wolf, boar, deer or big tame you step down at its side.
Saddles say why: when a saddle won't go on, it tells you why.
Saddles grow: every saddle grows with each star, so you can reach it on big lox and asksvin.
Trolls: you ride up on a troll's back, behind the head, even on a big starred one.

More for riders

Big tames keep their distance: a troll, a lox or a big starred wolf stops further back when it follows you, so it stops walking into you.Setting: Big tames keep their distance
Swings from the saddle: they reach past your mount now, and a swing from the saddle costs the same stamina as one on foot.
Every tame: what each tame eats and which ones you can ride is in the Tames guide.
