#Riding (Mobility) School Collection, 3 Kinds (First New Establishment)

Contents

⚠ Distinguished from 15-Horsemanship: this section centers on relocation, transport, courier. 15-Horsemanship is mounted combat. The same PC cannot hold both schools at once (choose 1). The core Licensed Relay Change (relocation +2, free swap) / secret art Post-Horse Breakthrough (long-distance relocation +5) is replaced by new maneuvers.

#§ Scent — The Horse's Other Path

Even the same horse runs with a different breath when going to the battlefield than when going as a courier. A horse for one person, a horse for a thousand letters, a horse for the imperial ceremonial procession — each goes its own path.

#§ Design Perspective

Distinction from 15-Horsemanship: this section centers on non-combat skills. Mounted combat is separated into 15-Horsemanship.
Common effect: the ceremonial guard (16-03-03) can apply to Japan, Arab, and West alike — a culturally universal art.
New Licensed/secret arts: introduces new maneuvers for the core Relay Change/Post-Horse Breakthrough. The core skills are preserved.

"The battlefield horse runs for one person. The courier's horse runs for a thousand people. The ceremonial horse runs for an age."
