Rearing Strike

Cost: 4
Ability Type: Technique, Difficulty 20
Related Skill: Riding
Prerequisites: Riding 5 and Attack with Mount

A great deal flashier and more dangerous than simply directing your mount to perform a basic attack, this technique provokes it to rear up and lash out with both forelimbs at the indicated target. If you succeed in your Riding check then the mount may attempt two Kicks at the enemy, with both suffering a -2 AM (in place of the normal Multiple Attack Penalty), if you fail your check then the attacks still take place, but you are flung from your mount's back in the process.
