Apart from quick trip between places and the heroic position that comes from riding into a city on a horse, why you would want to invest in a beast of burden?. Not just a horse offers greater mobility, but there are advantages of direct combat for fighting from a saddle. Mount trained characters benefit from the following when fighting on a mount.
* Add a Fortuna given to all the melee due to the advantage of height and be fixed.
* Add a given opponents Woe to all melee attacking rider, unless the attacker is using a halberd, a spear, a spear gun or similar weapon.
However, these benefits must be balanced with the disadvantages that come with half a ton of horse riding into battle. Ranged attacks since suffering an additional die mount of woe cast spells while increases in difficulty by adding an additional challenge given to compensate for holding the reins while trying to control the Winds of Magic.

While some races have immediate access to a mount (see below), most characters will have to earn their own, either by taming a wild horse with a daunting test Treatment of Animals or buying one with their spoils of war. The horses are divided into three types:
* workhorse : These large, peaceful horses are commonly called "cold blood." They are bred for their strength and docility, not speed.

Larger than a riding horse, faster than a horse for riding, war horses are the product of careful breeding and years of training. These horses offer Fortuna given to any test rider to maintain control in battle addition to the Quick trait.
Know Your Limits
No matter how well-bred, no beast without limits. To reflect this, each horse has a score of Effort [ Wind ], which represents how much tension, stress and abuse can take before they give up or possibly die. Players can register the effort most mounts using tokens of fatigue or stress, although some exceptional horses (with riders exceptional links) Followers have specific tabs with separate boxes effort.
An example of a career that must maintain a strong bond with his mount is the Escort. This career path takes advantage of the follower tab Horse Trust included in Omens of War. Players who aspire to travel the path of Jinente may wish to begin their study after riding gallop.
