[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 2636602, member: 111"] At DC 20 you can control an untrained mount in battle. Failure simply mean no action that round. This is a bit worse than that, so I think it reasonable to do this: -------------------------------------------------------------------- DC 25. Control a frightened mount. You can make the horse follow your commands, but it's still a struggle. You use one move action yourself in doing this, and the horse is reduced to only one move (and just a move, not any other move action - you are forcing the horse to move the direction you want it to when it absolutely does not want to do that). If you fail, but make DC 20, then you have prevented the mount from running away. You and your mount can take no other action, but the mount does not run. Failure (below 20) means the mount runs, and you STILL get no actions because you are too busy attempting to control the panicked (or other condition) mount. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This seems reasonable, but I pretty much made it all up. I'd apply these rules to anytime the mount wants to run, whether from fear or other influences. It's basically using your training to force the mount to do what it does not want to do - what it REALLY does not want to do. I drew from this chart of how to set DCs for skills: Very easy (0) Notice something large in plain sight (Spot) Easy (5) Climb a knotted rope (Climb) Average (10) Hear an approaching guard (Listen) Tough (15) Rig a wagon wheel to fall off (Disable Device) Challenging (20) Swim in stormy water (Swim) Formidable (25) Open an average lock (Open Lock) Heroic (30) Leap across a 30-foot chasm (Jump) Nearly impossible (40) Track a squad of orcs across hard ground after 24 hours of rainfall (Survival) [/QUOTE]
