Bajutsu (Riders: Saddle Warfare)

D-rank passive. Trained to ride and fight. A small edge on foot; in the saddle steadier, quicker to strike and harder to hit, and better still with Animals skill 8 and 15.

Passive: always on once learned. Class level needed: D 2.

D-rank. In the saddle in one leap: jump onto the nearest beast of yours that can carry you (within 8 cells). Used while riding, drop off it just as fast.

D-rank. Shout insults from the saddle or on foot: every enemy within 7 cells comes at you blindly, easy to hit and easy to dodge.

D-rank. Drop down and hang along the mount's flank, using the beast as cover: blows and shots rarely land for a short while. Only while riding.

C-rank. Charge through everyone in the way. Hits harder from the saddle, more on a big mount. Needs a melee weapon.

C-rank. Plant a thunderous stamp that staggers everyone around you. Hits harder from the saddle, more on a big mount. Needs a melee weapon.

C-rank. Ride the mount straight over everyone in a line: each one is knocked down and stamped on. Only while riding; a heavier mount stamps harder.

C-rank. The mount rears up and strikes one enemy next to you with its full weight, throwing it back. Only while riding.

C-rank. Charge at an enemy rider and knock them clean out of the saddle, stunned. Against a foe on foot it's a hard, staggering blow. Only while riding.

C-rank passive. Fights from the saddle as well as on foot: in the saddle melee blows land more often, come faster and are harder to dodge.

Passive: always on once learned. Class level needed: C 5.

C-rank passive. Shoots from a running mount without losing aim: in the saddle shots are truer and quicker.

Passive: always on once learned. Class level needed: C 5.

Passive: always on once learned. Class level needed: C 5.

C-rank passive. Whatever guards or heals the rider guards and heals the mount too: healing techniques and protective effects on a riding ninja reach the beast as well.

C-rank. Take off on a flying mount and dive onto a spot: everyone around where you land is struck and staggered. Only on a flying mount, under open sky.

Passive: always on once learned. Class level needed: C 5.

C-rank. Climb high on a flying mount and look down: everything within 30 cells is revealed, and for a while the rider aims truer and quicker. Only on a flying mount.

B-rank. Fly low over a line to a spot up to 20 cells away: everyone under the flight path is cut by the wind of the pass. Only on a flying mount, under open sky.

A-rank. Ride in like a great wave, striking everyone in a long line. Hits harder from the saddle, more on a big mount. Needs a melee weapon.

A-rank. Rider and mount get their second wind: both shake off tiredness and some wounds, and run faster and harder for a while. Only while riding.
