First, to whichever wizzes added more flavour and detail to the outerworld
(more distinct mobs etc.) -- thank you.

And now my request (with some context): I was exploring bat as per usual when
I came across a basilisk (non-aggro).
My reaction was "Oh cool! a basilisk, lemme try to kill it." Perhaps it is
not necessary to say, but I got petrified.
No problem so far until I try to quickly run to civ to quaff some anti-status
potion. Riding my mount I found that after a certain point my movement had
checks on it. If I failed it was because my legs refused to move me and the
like. (I probably don't need to point out I was turning to stone).
But this kept my mount from moving me as well.

I know there are all of 5 beastmasters and maybe 10 cavaliers in the game, but
maybe some thought could be given to a more generic treatment of mount vs.
rider.

Maybe this should have gone to bs or tales.

/Hyar.
On second thought, I should have titled this something more like: Mount &
rider modification request. Oh well.
