Most (but not all) increases and reductions to your speed have no effect on you, however your and your mount's speed is capped to a maximum limit if your riding skill is too low. | ||
** The formula for Speed when riding something is calculated by the mount and follows: Speed = baseSpeed * 100 / Clamp(100 + baseSpeed * (If bad ride then 5, otherwise 1) - STR - Rider's EvalueRiding * 2 - (if good ride then 50, otherwise 0), 100, 1000) The rider takes on the mount's speed, and penalties like Fluffy Tail or Encumbrance are added on top. | |||
** Rider's EvalueRiding is equal to the Riding skill in most cases. The sole exception is when the mount is Broomified and the rider has a "Way of Witch" feat. In that case, EvalueRiding is equal to 125% Riding skill plus a flat 25. | |||
** As an example, the Slow spell has no effect on your speed while riding, however being Burdened from carrying too much does. The Slow spell, if cast on your MOUNT, however, would reduce both your and your mount's speed. | ** As an example, the Slow spell has no effect on your speed while riding, however being Burdened from carrying too much does.

* Unlike Elona, enchantments with "Speeds up Travel Progress" apply when equipped by the PLAYER, and NOT when equipped by the mount. | * Unlike Elona, enchantments with "Speeds up Travel Progress" apply when equipped by the PLAYER, and NOT when equipped by the mount. | ||
* There exists a failsafe, in case the the rider's mount differs from the rider's mount.(As in, the horse thinks the player is riding them, while the player thinks it's riding a different horse). If such a thing occurs, the mount calculates its speed as an average of its own and its rider. The rider will meanwhile try to take on the speed from the creature it believes to be its mount. | |||
* Since the mount's speed stat adds to the riding penalty, faster mounts are naturally harder to ride. However, the mount's Strength score contributes to decreasing the penalty, having the mount learn and train skills belonging to Strength can aid in rising said stat. | |||
* | * If the mount gets overburdened, then its speed would be reduced, just like the player's. The mount doesn't appear to take into account its rider's encumbrance, however. | ||
