Rider versus a blackjacked mount

[Sirri]

If we're aiming for max realism there's no way you can 1) sneak up to a horse and 2) knock it out with a sack.
Might add a lag though, sounds fair.

I surely couldn’t sneak up on a horse, since I’ve no skill in sneaking or hiding. But we’re talking about fictional characters here—ones who *do* have those abilities, not to mention kender with 25 dex who’ve perfected them.

But if lag is all we have for now, it’s still a step in the right direction.

@Sirrion could we at least add random lag based on the mount’s height?

for example:
donkey: max lag 0-1
riding horse: max lag 1–2
warhorse: max lag 1-2
war elephant: max lag 1–3
...and so on?

I don't like the 2v1.

it was just by the book

And this kender attacked a neutral fighter without saying anything.
