Unhorse (Gambit)

Unhorse (difficulty 4): A successful unhorse gambit allows the character to knock an opponent off his mount. An unhorsed character suffers one level of bashing damage and is rendered prone, and the mount usually flees in the confusion. This is generally an easier and less-costly option than trying to target a mount with a decisive attack to kill it.

Storytellers running especially gritty games may want to allow the unhorse gambit to be used to shoot mounts out from under riders as well as forcibly dismounting opponents, at difficulty 5.
