Mounted combat

[ShadowMaster]

According to Sword and fist at page 64:
"Do not forget to make ride skills checks to use your mount as a cover (DC15)..."

What is the percentage of that cover provided by a horse or any other mount?

thanks

I would think no greater then 1/4 cover.

Cover: The character can react instantly to drop down and hang alongside the mount, using it as one-half cover. The character can't attack or cast spells while using the character's mount as cover. If the character fails, the character doesn't get the cover benefit.

Directly from the "Ride" skill.
