Are horses 2-hex creatures?

Shadekeep · 11-21-2019, 12:13 PM

I think I failed a sanity check. I feel certain that horses are 2-hex creatures, but I don't seem to be finding the explicit statement of that in the ITL book. If anyone can point out where it's RAW I'd really appreciate it. I need to know for some unit-size calculations I'm working on. Thanks!

ITL 66, 130, 131

Yes, though admittedly it was much harder to find than I expected (ITL pg 66, 130 and 131).

Thank you both! So it is in there, just not in the bestiary section on Riding Animals. I appreciate the page numbers, cheers!

Now we just need some 2-hex markers....

Horse front, side and rear hexes are in the Companion.

Hmm, thinking it might be cool to add a two-horned horse, with wicked curled horns like a bighorn ram. Sort of the opposite of a unicorn, it only likes corrupted people instead of virtuous ones. Makes a striking mount for a warlord or dark mage.

c.f. the Overlord anime where the purity of the Succubus means that she is unable to ride the bicorn.

I was thinking the horned horse might be called a bicorn, but the historical mythological creature already using that name is somewhat different that what I intend. It is also a perverse take on a unicorn, in that it subsists on a diet of devoted (or henpecked) husbands.

One other way my horned horse diverges from the unicorn model is that it's ram-like horns aren't capable of a lance charge like the TFT unicorn. But I would say they add blunt damage or impact to a charge attack, perhaps sending smaller foes flying through the air!

What is the impact of a move 20 shield rush?
