Ride
The difficulty ratings in the table are for horseback riding. The GM should make adjustments for other animals.
| DR | Action |
| 0 | Trot or gallop on road |
| 3 | Trot or gallop in terrain |
| 6 | Gallop through forest / jump easy obstacle |
| 9 | Gallop through dense forest / jump obstacle 1.5 m high* |
| 12 | Jump obstacle 2 meters high* |
| 15 | Jump obstacle 2 meters high* with little room |
| +3 | Without saddle |
* How high you can jump depends on the horse. Given heights assume the horse can jump this high.
When fighting from horseback, the character gets a penalty in all weapon skills and dodge. The amount depends upon the horse, see the mounted combat table.
Each round of combat from horseback, a ride roll is made to see if the character controls the horse. If the roll is not successful, the character may not attack that round, and gets an additional -5 in parry or dodge. If the roll fails by more than 5, the character falls off (counts as a 2 meter fall). DR is given in the mounted combat table.
| Horse | Penalty | DR |
| War horse | 1 | 5 |
| Battle-trained horse | 3 | 10 |
| Riding horse | 5 | 15 |
