Mounted combat:

This skill will be divided into two skill: Mounted Damage Reduction and Mounted Combat

"Mounted damage reduction" will be a skill for the master CH box because because it is quite useless without "Mounted combat". It will reduce the damage you get while seated on a mount with a percentage depending on the mounts armor and level (I bet the dev can't handle something like adding the resists in the system).

"Mounted Combat" will of course unlock specials while riding a mount. It will be placed in the creature empathy branch becuase that deals with pets in combat (and the current skills suck ). It will allow you to attack with melee weapons and ranged weapons except teras kasi techniques because that would be totally silly. Rifles too will not be allowed, the long range makes the kiting too strong and aiming with such a long gun on a mount would be weird aswell.

Why is this needed? Because CH sucks nowdays. Most animals on real-life battlefields are used as mounts. They give you advantage in speed, hight and of course damage reduction. In SWG your dead the moment you enter your mount in combat, unless you run away like a chicken of course, in that case your weird cause your not using you vehicle... they are way faster you know?

Any fans of the current mounts are fans of their coolness factor, I myself have been cruising around on my wasteland cu pa on endor. That made me write this post (especially when I get knocked down, mounts are nothing but nice looking)

I know my idea is far from perfect, but I know it will be a very good way to make CH more powerfull while staying interesting and realistic.

Yeah I know it's almost the same as some other ideas but I couldn't help posting it
