Horses in RoSD - does the rules from Spellcaster #1 work?
« on: November 29, 2019, 01:32:11 PM »
Google tells me that Spellcaster: The Frostgrave Magazine #1 has rules for horses in Frostgrave.

Would those rules be portable to Rangers of Shadow deep?

If not, does anyone have ideas on how to handle horses in Ranger of Shadowdeep?

In the Files section of the RoSD FB Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/199819667485240/  there is a document by Christian Cameron for using mounts.

I wish the document was on some other site other than FB.  If you do not have a FB account you are out of luck.  I would share it but I do not want to break some rule that is unknown to me that will get me banned.

Just started reading the rules from facebook.
They're very complicated, treating horses as seperate characters and a mounted character becomes 3 models in combat, where 2 of them are the horse...

Thats a bit more than I was looking for. I was thinking more along the lines of +X movement, +X armour, + X equipment slots, it takes an action to mount or dismount, a small penalty to shooting.

The spellcaster rules for horses should work in ROSD. The combined mounted model gets M +2, F+1 and S -2, no climbing. There are some rules about what might happen if you ride through difficult terrain, mounting and dismounting and special abilities/equipment relating to horses you can buy. Not too complex.
