Well it's sure better than nothing, which is what we've had for so stinking long.

edit: Oh har-de-har, whatta hoot. NOT.

...well at least I'm a bit more motivated for my pet project of adding player magic.

What an absurd price for fish.

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.
