Ride Skill

The ability to ride a trained mount (e.g. a horse). Performing difficult actions, such as attacking or casting spells, while riding requires additional successes. During combat each maneuver performed while mounted requires a separate Ride check. Directing a mount to move during combat requires a Move Action unless the rider is also trained in Mounted Combat. If the mount takes damage, an additional Ride check is required to control the animal. A failure may result in the mount fleeing in an unpredictable direction, while a critical failure would result in throwing the rider.
