New Maneuver for your review

Honestly I see no issue with this.

Given the fact that some players like to scrutinize the most innocuous of wording and take it to mean something completely different, I would specify that the total amount of movement, before and after the attack cannot exceed the movement of the mount.

I can see someone saying, “I can make an arguement that you can move the full distance, shoot and then move the full distance again, because that’s the way I read it.

Sad, but true.

So let’s not give anyone any wiggle room here.

Fair point…

I’ll edit above in red

I love it and think it fills a much needed niche. However, I can think of several other weapons that would work. Sling, Verrucas Sling, Blowgun, Bola, daggers, Spears, Throwing Blades, the special Khitani Compound Longbows given out at last years LARP.

I can understand why longbow does not work, but could you explain your train of thought on why no Flintlock Rifle or Heavy Crossbow?

Galloping Shot
You can fire from horseback, mid gallop, without slowing.
Requirements: Quickness 6, Ranged (Archery OR Marksmanship) +6, Ride +6, Hawkeye (T1)
Category: Base
Attack: Avoidance (Qu)
Speed (Recovery): +2 (1)
Range: As Weapon (See Effect)
Effect: Weapon; you may move, preform a ranged attack, and move again, up to the total combined pace of your mount. You must be mounted to use this maneuver.
Weapons: Short Bow, Light Crossbow, Flintlock Pistol.
Special (Advanced Maneuvers): When this Technique is combined with another to create a new maneuver, it allows you to move, perform a maneuver, and move again.

In a quick study of the internet, I cannot find any accurate evidence to show that slingers and spearmen ever were used mounted. They always seem to be ground-based, probably due to the coordination needed to perform the actions. After all, it is easier to pull a trigger or a bowstring while controlling a horse than spinning a rock over your head or hefting a spear or javalin. I’d personally prefer it NOT including Ranged (Thrown) myself, but I’m not TOO much against it either.

Galloping Shot
You can fire from horseback, mid gallop, without slowing.
Requirements: Quickness 6, Ranged (Any) +6, Ride +6, Hawkeye (T1)
Category: Base
Attack: Avoidance (Qu)
Speed (Recovery): +2 (1)
Range: As Weapon (See Effect)
Effect: Weapon; you may move, preform a ranged attack, and move again, up to the total combined pace of your mount. You must be mounted to use this maneuver.
Weapons: Short Bow, Light Crossbow, Flintlock Pistol, Sling, Javalin, Pilum, any weapon with the “Thrown” Quality.
Special (Advanced Maneuvers): When this Technique is combined with another to create a new maneuver, it allows you to move, perform a maneuver, and move again.

I think that this would be great fodder for a ‘signature move’ for any ranged person (though I can’t remember if that is for tricks or can be done with Martial Techniques).

I think that “As Bow” needs to be changed. Probably to “As Weapon”.

Good point, Fixed

Also, the word, “combined” doesn’t fit, here. It implies that you’re combining your mount’s movement with something. I suggest changing, “total combined” to “normal”. Now, by doing this, you’ve limited the movement to 1x pace. So no movement that doubles your pace and no running. But I imagine that those movement types were never part of the intent of the maneuver.

Correct, changed to normal
