Stable Horses(18)

These are the incredibly resourceful horses Julian and his people trained and donated to the stables of the many stables around the empire. However, the healing skill here is telling. These are the horses that did not reach Regenerate or Rapid- Heal. They did not become Horses for the military of Amber nor for the Rangers. Julian required at least Rapid Heal for horses of the military, as did Benedict. He required Regenerate for any horse to continue training for the rangers. It is what it is.

Julian has trained lines of horses for stamina, Speed, and Vitality for generations. The Castle stable horse is meant to haul wagons as well as provide a dignitary with a reliable horse for day rides or Journeys. So they better be good.

• 1 Vs Weapons-Mostly this is used for protection from road hazard like thorn bushes or other things that might hurt them in passing.
• 1 Able to Speak-These horses understand Thari to the degree a horse can. Iit will do as told in most instances. They are not conversational of course.
• follow shadow trail- These horses will try to find who ever is riding them if separated. In the end, they will attempt to find their stable in Castle Amber.
• 1 Self-Heal-The general line of stable horses will heal better then most horse.
• 2 Good Stuff- Julian's horses come from a line of horses who are smart, clever, and lucky. They have 2 pips of good stuff that may not be spent elsewhere

If Claimed
