Description
This is now in WH3, I brought it over, also:
This and by extension all of my WH2 mods are now retired. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause due to outstanding bugs as well any comments I have not responded to during my absence from these mods, and modding in general. This mod is now public domain as well far as I'm concerned, do with it as you please.

Thank you for giving me the motivation to continue modding, through all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ times and long nights working on issues and bugs. Thank you for trying out my mod, I hope you enjoyed it. <3

IMO fixes what I see as a glaring design oversight and failure to translate table top rules for monstrous mounts to a game which CANNOT have sep attack profiles nor treats mounted units as a "dual profile". In this game, they're just a single unit, mount may as well be bunch of dudes in a suit holding your lord up for all it really does in game's stats.

To frame this In table top, 8th edition, mounts/riders have own attack phase and neither preclude nor share the special abilities of the other (key wording being DOES NOT PRECLUDE), ie imho, have to pick one stat block cos game engine so archaic, pick the one to PREFERENCE THE RIDER LIKE WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR 90% OTHER MOUNTS.

Flipping the script for no reasons on elven mounts and HE especially just shown me this is likely a massive oversight.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Please let me know any other inconsistencies like this with other factions. I will do my best to correct this issue across the board if it is prevalent beyond these two factions.
Key points for your argument:
1. Character (better yet, most of the faction) has this ability except on some mounts, but not all (and can think of no logical reasons why, ie hypothetical if lord lost their ranged weapon when mounted, ya, in that case, logically shouldn't have RANGE SPECIAL ABILITIES anymore, not their innate combat abilities as a race xD)
2. Other characters in faction DO have the ability on same version of mount (like the HE...bug? with eagles and Ala')
3. The ability can argued to be a "faction racial ability" and was roughly brought over (at least in name and spirit) from table top like Martial and Murderous Prowess (ie has a basis as a special ability and would logically follow same line of reasoning with monstrous mounts and ability argument)

Anyways, *shakes head and makes best Robert Downie Jr meme face*, enjoy actually having your racial ability on all your lords and mounts now for mentioned factions.
Ya know, like it seems like it should just be by default xD
