As we have mentioned, we are working on a huge new general skillset for
Imperian. With the time for release nearly at hand, I have had to load
some initial code tonight that is going to give away part of the
skillset. Mounts will be a small part of the new skillset, but as some
classes currently ride mounts, the load tonight will be affecting them
more. As always please BUG any problems.

The following is a summary of changed skillsets.
