Status of the saddled Nightmare (lawful): Level 12 HP 24(24) Pw 78(78) AC -2, tame, fast, carrying you.

Just had to see if it could be done. Next, time to see if I can put One Eyed Sam to work for me.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.228.21 (talkcontribs)

You can't, as shopkeepers can never be tamed even after being polymorphed.
Does Nightmare's covetous nature make him act as an unusual saddle, or is it just like riding a really strong warhorse? -- Qazmlpok (talk) 13:19, 3 December 2012 (UTC)


Playing on a local windows machine and I don't know how to drop GTK into wizard mode, so I got her "savescummed" as a tame, fast cockatrice. Ran through it twice so far. First, to see if it worked, and a second time, to repolymorph her into an intelligent monster so she'd take a cornuthaum and an amulet. Got an error the first time. Something about creating and icon for a steed.Is "unusual saddle" a actual term? I'm trying to recreate it to post it verbatim. The second time worked almost without a hitch. The cornuthaum fell off and I learned pets wont use an amulet of flying. She already has reflection so an amulet of lifesaving would be the only valid item left,doubly so since she doesn't leave a corpse.--67.168.228.21 14:21, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
