The idea is for mounted warriors of some kind. Cavalry suggests a unit of mounted warriors but this would have to work for individuals first.
- Enable players to use weapons while mounted
- Use of existing 1-handed weapons (minimum 'Reach' value required - Daggers would be pretty pointless)
- Specialised Cavalry Weapons of equivalent power to 2-handed weapons but used with one hand
- Armour for mounts, specialist saddle to enable 2-handed weapons, etc.
This specialised gear would of course be expensive and extra training (new skill?) would be required to ride + use weapons at the same time.
- Possibly limit to melee weapons (no magic possible while mounted).
- Mount's invulnerability should be kept with all damage going to rider or should that depend on mount's armour? Perhaps let mounts take damage but only up to the point where they can't carry rider.
The more I think about this the more possibilities there are.
