Horse Whisperer
You may use Ride in place of Lore whenever dealing with Horses, Ponies, Donkeys or any other form of Equine. Camels OTOH are your avowed nemesis. The feeling‘s mutual.
Out Riding Fences for so Long
You don’t ever have to spend a fate point to declare that you are able to find enough food and water for yourself and your mount, even in extreme situations (like being dumped in the middle of the desert and separated from all your stuff). This source of opposition is just off the table.
Ride for Ruin and the World’s Ending
Whenever you successfully Attack while mounted, either using Melee or Ranged Weaponry, the damage inflicted increases by +2.
Rider on the Storm
Whenever you Attack using Bow and Arrow, you may make two Attacks during a single combat round, choosing either to Attack the same opponent twice or two different opponents once each.
Kung Fu: Steppe Rider Style
| Steppe Rider Form - Horse and Rider are One | All Horse techniques require you to be on horseback. If you attack with a weapon, you use Fight and get +1 Weapon Rating. If you are trampling with your horse, you use Ride and get no Weapon Rating. The reverse is true with defense: no Armor Rating when using Fight, but +1 Armor Rating when using Ride. |
| Rider Races the Wind | Use Ride instead of Athletics to determine how many zones you may freely move per turn. When on horseback, you get to move 2 zones more than you normally would based on your Ride/Athletics skill and your Jianghu rank. |
