Charge

[johnflang]

Steve,

In our fantasy game last night we had the misfortune of being charged by train cavalryman with lances. We were not equipped to set for charge. The fantasy book covered everything but what happens when you are hit by charging horsemen.

 

1) How much damage/where (documented) does a trained cavalryman on a trained mount do to the poor schmuck on the ground?

 

2) If they rules are straight move through rules, then is the damage capped at 2x the base damage of they weapon?

 

Thanks from my gaming group.

Ouch!

 

Yes, it's done as a Move Through using the weapon, and standard rules for Move Throughs and for adding damage to a weapon via movement apply. Note esp. the special rules for this on 5E 259.
