armor: I'm thinking of an option in pets section wherein you can opt to mount your pet or not. If you chose to mount, then 25% of your pet stats will be added to your stat and your pet will not attack on the 4th round. Your pet can still die because 50% of damage received will be deducted to original character's health and 50% to the pet's health. The exp received by pet is still the same, but it is sure for every battle that it gains exp. If you chose not to mount, then your pet will attack separately on the 4th round.
