It'd be really awesome if the evasion penalty while mounted were reduced or taken away. It's pretty impossible to hunt anywhere near at level while mounted relying only on shield/parry - especially for those of us whose evasion outpaces our other defenses (eg rangers, who are supposed to be somewhat masterly on horseback).

Anyway, thats my random horse request for now. I can always hope!

Ah, a very Dart-like answer. I agree- lame skills should be developed before new skills are created, like the Escaping lovin' as of late.

>interestingly enough, under survival3 my paladin now has the title horseman, this title previously only appeared under ownership.

I've got that title now too, suddenly. I've also got a few more titles under survival3 that I can't find anywhere. Woodland Bandit is one of them, off the top of my head.

>>There is no penalty in the evasion defense code for mounted combat. So if there is one, I'm not sure where it's coming from. Though, I'll put it on my list to look into.

Was this ever looked into? Is there still a penalty for mounted combat? If so was it intentional? If not, I?d love to get a horse if there is no penalty for fighting on one, although I?ve always thought being on a horse could give you advantages in many situations! But I digress! Thanks for the information ahead of time.

I tested this myself (informally) and really couldnt find any difference between fighting unmounted. So I was totally wrong in saying there was some penalty, I could have sworn there was. I was also playing around with some bows and a sword and couldnt find any difference in my killing ability mounted or unmounted. The only thing I notice a difference in is casting ability. It seems much harder to cast spells while mounted, even with a horse trained in magic tolerance.
