Body control
Main Page / Characteristics / Body / Body control
Body control is a characteristic that helps with accuracy and stealthing, and determines the mounts a player can ride.
Smithing, carpentry, and tailoring skills all offer decent Body Control skill, as do archery, shield skills, and some weapon skills.
Chopping trees with a longsword and two handed sword also offers good Body Control gains. Note; this only works until 20 skill, or 20 effective skill on Epic.
Archery on an archery target is excellent until about skill level 30.
Body control levels
| Body control required | Action/Mount |

| 23 | Brown Bear |

| 29 | Scorpion (dominated or zombie) |
| 31 | Hell horse |
The body control required to ride a cow has been decreased again to non-prem levels (tested Jan. 20, 2013 on a non-prem character with 19.508253 body control). So currently cows are the only animals non-prem characters can ride.
