[QUOTE="Ixal, post: 8364387, member: 7030132"] Targeting horses did happen in certain situations. Archers for example had a much easier time hitting horses than its riders and in the case of knights the horses were also less armored. So it made sense to target them over the knight which they can't wound anyway in his armor. And against lighter cavalry the horse was simply more likely to be hit at longer rangers because it was bigger. Archers are not all Legolas and don't have perfect accuracy so horses git hit a lot more often There are also certain tactical situations when killing horses is preferred. When cavalry is charging you not in a line but in a wedge or even column formations like the Mongols used, killing the leading horse can cause all following hourses to crash into it which, in the best case, causes several casualties and disrupts the entire formation. And as it was mentioned before, your characters live in a D&D world where killing horses is much more easy than its rider once you reach higher level, so why not do it? [/QUOTE]
