Cavalier Mounts Not Fighting
Description
==========
Tier 3 and Tier 1 Cavalier mounts, despite having a statblock, do not fight alongside you. This bug includes variants such as Nightmares and (presumably) White Plated Chargers. Despite this, they still count as allies for flanking purposes - they just don't attack.
Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
1. Summon Tier 3 or Tier 1 Cavalier Mount, including special mounts.
2. Enter combat, direct it to attack via any method including Associate Tool
Expected result
-----------------------
It attacks the enemy.
Actual result
-------------------
It does not attack but counts for flanking.

I can't cite when.. but pretty sure (all) horses basically get forced in a "fear" state when entering combat. I think the intention is to keep them alive and not turn them into a combat pet.

That's not the case for T2 mounts, which fight in combat with you, so that might be a bug in of itself.Morto wrote: Sun Jul 10, 2022 6:37 pm I can't cite when.. but pretty sure (all) horses basically get forced in a "fear" state when entering combat.

At bare minimum, I think Nightmares and White-Plated Chargers should fight because of the special nature of those mounts, especially if you order them to. Alternatively, it could be made clearer on the wiki that they are incapable of fighting.
Re: Cavalier Mounts Not Fighting
Yeah im fairly sure they made all horses run in a fight. Reason being some years ago you find some one running around with a whole herd of horses using them to level up and fight there battles. WAs hilarious and silly at the same time.

Re: Cavalier Mounts Not Fighting
The mounts aren't intended to fight enemies, if they're not fighting, then it's intended behavior. Tier 2 summoned mounts may need adjustments for their creature files.
A fix is in the pipeline. Let me know if any of the summoned mounts are still participating in battles in a few days.

For you, the day Kenji overhauled your class was the most important day of your life.
But for me, it was Tuesday. To-do list
