help > skills > ride --------------------------------------------------------------------- Skill : Ride Class : Knight, Deathknight, Warlord, Paladin (via talent) Cost : 15 (for NPC steeds only) Time : 1 round Stats : Dexterity, some Strength and Constitution Syntax : do ride [<target> | steed | dismount | check] Examples : do ride do ride steed do ride dismount do ride dragon do ride nimrod do ride check This skill permits you to ride those animals which permit riders; these include (but are not limited to) your steed, as given by the steed skill, player unicorns, dragons, and centaurs (if they permit you, via 'permit <name> ride') and some npc monsters. If you try to ride a wild steed then there is a chance the steed will rebel and attempt to throw you. The bigger the steed, the more likely this is. When your steed moves, you move; you do not move by yourself. With many steeds, attempting to move will force the steed to move. This is only the case with player steeds if they 'permit' you to steer. While riding, your ability to fight is increased; the more easily you ride the steed, the better you fight. If you charge into battle your steed will attack with you. If you do not charge, the steed will eventually join in. There is a feedmaster located in the fighter's guild stables that sells "steed feed" which a steed will automatically eat when hungry (slow on sp). --Syntaxes-- do ride dismount causes you to stop riding. do ride same as 'do ride dismount'. do ride steed causes you to ride your personal steed/nightmare. do ride <target> causes you to attempt to ride the target. do ride check will display level, size and hp report of your steed --Centaurs-- Centaurs who have 'ride' are a special case. As a centaur, you can use this skill to recruit a rider and pull him onto your back. You do not need your rider's permission to steer, and you still fight better with someone to assist you. Most NPCs who themselves have the 'ride' skill are recruitable in this manner, and a player can 'permit' you to act as his mount. A living centaur with this skill can "ride" normal NPC knights, warlords, warriors, and paladins. An undead centaur can "ride" normal NPC deathknights. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
