Chocobo (Status Effect)

Description

Riding a Chocobo is a positive status effect that allows a character to travel faster until it wears off or is removed. Characters riding a chocobo move much faster than normal, are immune to aggro, gain access to the "Dig" ability, and are unable to cast spells or attack, however you are still prone to any sort of cure, buff or AoE damage and can be KO'd while riding one. This effect will also prevent characters from entering dungeons, cities, or towns.
