Mounted Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. The Mounted Point Buy Category is mostly for Players using the following: Supremium Mounted MCPets, Carriages, or any other kind of Mountable Plugin Pet. For those without Supremium, a free Capybara Mount is provided here. Mounts may also be used in server roleplay, stories and more as an aesthetic feature. They cannot offer any bonus to combat roleplay outside of the parameters of Mounted Point Buy. The Mounted Point Buy Packs are designed around the use of a Mount in combat, while also setting up some ground rules for the use of Mounts in Combat Roleplay. The rules for using a Mount are listed below. When any Packs have been Point Bought in this Category, or gained via Heritage Mechanics the Character automatically gains the following Ability for free, depending on the Mount used:

Ability Name	Ability Type	Ability Range	Ability Description	Modifiers
Cavalry Summon	Mount Technique	Self	Grants the user Cavalry Summon	N/A

Ability Name	Ability Type	Ability Range	Ability Description	Modifiers
Carriage Summon	Mount Technique	Self	Grants the user Carriage Summon	N/A

Mounted Roleplay Rules

For gameplay purposes, the Mount itself cannot be targeted. All Damage done to the Mount is done to the rider instead.
Flying Mounts cannot be used in combat. If a Mounted Character is engaged in combat, the Mount is immediately grounded and cannot Fly again until combat is over, but remains Mounted.
Mounts do not fit through doorways into buildings no matter how large they are. Mounts cannot be used inside Rentals, Bases, Estates, or Businesses, but can go into Stables.
Carriages and Horses cannot be summoned or used in underground tunnels or the sewers, with one exception. Afflicted Characters can summon monster/magic Horses only in the Sewers.
Characters can only be removed from a Mount by choice.
If the player no longer has the Supremium Rank, it is permissible to remove these Packs and exchange them for other packs and Proficiency investments.
Point Buy Packs titled "Mounted" require the user to be on a Mount. Point Buy Packs titled "Familiar" do not require the user to be mounted, or have any visible pet.
To summon a Mount, use /mcpets ingame and select the mount category to select the icon of your chosen pet.
If a Character wants to use Magic and Magic Point Buy to Summon their Mounts, the Player may choose to make this Proficiency Point count as Magic instead.
