Horses

Ok, so just want to make sure I'm not going mad here. There's a bug currently wherein horses don't gain primary attack status on hoof at level 4.

So, knowing this - I didn't pick an archetype for my Sohei's pet. Sure enough, -5 to secondary, which mult-attack will reduce at level 7. HOWEVER - just levelled Seelah up and this time kept as paladin and took mount. Levelled her pet up and - err the horse secondary attack is behaving properly ? No minus.

I think you could probably set up a university level course focusing on the minor bugs with this game.

For my own curiosity just levelled up a bloodrider - on the theory that it's having a mount gained at level 5 (not automatically at level 1) that's causing this. Nope, still -5 - so is there something about a paladin that explains this ?

Oh and bloodriders also gain divine mount spell resistance too - which I thought was paladin only, sigh not reporting - had enough (although I love the game)

Last update, mainly in case anyone else stumbles over this in the future - it looks like the black horse template may have a problem. I don't know for certain, restarted with Seelah, picked black horse - and yep -5 to secondary after level 4. Re-restart with Seelah, standard template and just -1 (size). Honestly, something is screwed up and I don't know.

I'm going to start to look at something simpler now, like solving the problem of dark matter.

Edit. So not totally done - I can say it is the black horse template 100%, I rolled up an Arcane Rider, normal horse no -5 to secondary. So to sum things up, if anyone notices this in the future - black horse template will bork your animal companions attack
