[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 2420781, member: 8944"] Since fighting from horseback seems to be a common occurence in the game (and will likely continue to be so even after the current adventure ends and the next proceeds) I thought it might be worthwhile to explore some of the finer points of fighting from horseback so that we all know what the heck we're doing when the proverbial shiznit hits the fan. As you know, I'm using the "chase rules" from Grim Tales for the basics of maneuvering during mounted combat. Since most of what happens from horseback happens at a relatively high speed, we'd be crossing the battlemat every round or two if we tried to keep it at a "real" scale. I believe you all have a copy of those rules (if you don't, let me know - I have extras) and I *think* I've posted an electronic version somewhere. Let me know if I have or haven't and I can try to do that sometime in the next few weeks. Anyway, what I want to make sure that we do is reach an understanding of how the "normal" mounted combat rules work (the related feats, the ride skill) as related to the grim tales chase rules. If there are conflicting items, we'll figure out how to work around or through that conflict, and in the end of this thread we should have a solid understanding of how mounted combat works (for us, at least). By doing so, we'll make sure that you're able to plan to do things as advantageously as possible, and reduce the number of things that I have to rule on "on the fly." So - what do we know? [/QUOTE]
