Just another bug related to Horse combat that should be resolved before Horses can become harmable.

******************
Besides a few other Bugs with Charge that I will go into at another time, or if there is a request for them from a GM, this one probably should be a Top Priority.
I see now how the poor Warmies feel on the Fur fam quest.
Another huge bug with Charge is that it is limited to the first creature in the room. If I have the viper half dead and 2 more come in, I have to stop using Charge and just kill it myself to finish it off.
Otherwise Charge will default to the new viper that just entered.
Anyways figured I'd let you all know about this Bug since I have not seen a Post about it in the past. And wanted to mention again the Bug relating to the limitations of targeting creatures with Charge.
A response would be most appreciated. Even if it is "Sorry we can't work on that now cause I'm tied up with other projects." Something to at least know this Board is being read.
Thanks,
Candidus

I'll try Thicket Viper next time, but I'm 95% sure it will not work.
Charge seems to only recognize the first string of the creature you enter. So if I entered Signal Horse to Charge Thicket Viper the command would look for a Thicket to charge.
I'll double check but I'm quite sure this is how it will turn out.
