One a side note, my partner and I in one game found out the hard way that it's not wise to try and steal a paladin's horse. This particular horse turned out to be a genius who had a very bad temper. As I kept a lookout, my partner attempted to take the horse from its stall in the stable. He was stomped and kicked to death in less then a minute . I made a run for it but horses are fast and I soon met my demise in the same fashion.
