Mounted Weapons

Wasn't there at one time a few weapons especially for mounted characters. Besides the lance I can't find anything. I thought that the Sabre gave a +1 to mounted characters but wasn't there more?

I don't know of any weapons specifically for mounted characters, though mounted PCs do gain a +1 to attack while mounted, if their target is smaller than their mount (bonus from Higher Ground).
 



Sure theres the Cutlass, Saber, and Maul, followed by four other exitc melee weapns and one exotic ranged (the chakram). Nothing about a horseman's bow but wouldn't that just be a composite shortbow?

The FR Campaign Book has the stats for a Saber, it provides a +1 circumstance bonus when used in mounted combat.

I thought higher ground was already a circumstance bonus.

Is this incorrect?
 


If you are going for ranged I recommend the short bow. I think the long bow specifically states that you can't shoot it from a mounted position or maybe it just gives a large pentalty. A cross bow would work also, but it's slower unless you get the added feats.

And I you do get a +2 circumstance for higher ground, but getting this bonus may depend on if you are firing at something directly under you or out in the distance.

The +1 circumstance bonus for Higher Ground would be in addition to the +1 circumstance bonus that the cavalry saber provides.
