[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 5117246, member: 22779"] Yeah, I'd agree with that. And, you're 100% right. If the player's concept doesn't include actually [i]using[/i] the mount in combat, then fantastic. That's easy to include. I've been reading the Chronica Feudalis system of late. Interesting game. They have one trait in chargen system called Background. Now, this doesn't mean where your character comes from. What it means is you pick a particular element and that element is put into the background of the game. You don't have to roll, you always succeed at it. It could be narrated from time to time, but, it's never really detailed. For example, you could have a background Romantic Lothario. Which means in the background of the game, you're getting your groove on all the time. But, it's not meant to be played out during the session. Could be done one on one maybe, or just taken as written. A similar thing could be used here. Mounted Knight is taken as written. You always have your trusty steed on hand, you don't have to piddle about worrying about guards for it when you go into the dungeon and whatnot. But, on the occasions when you want the horse, you have it. [/QUOTE]
