<h2 id="horse-spirit">HORSE SPIRIT</h2>
|
||
<p>Start every game with a pool of at least nine dice. This is your
|
||
Spirit pool. It represents your horse’s wild, untamed, noble
|
||
essence.</p>
|
||
<p>At some point, you will choose to gamble away your horse’s Spirit in
|
||
order to win competitions.</p>
|
||
<p>If you finished last session with more than nine dice in your pool,
|
||
begin the next session with that many. If you finished last session with
|
||
less than nine, begin the next session with nine.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="horse-sports">HORSE SPORTS</h2>
|
||
<p>Each Horse Sport has an associated Horse Quality. To compete in a
|
||
Horse Sport you will assemble and roll a Horse Sport dice pool. Your
|
||
Horse Sport dice pool is made up of a Gift, your Type modifier, and
|
||
Spirit:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Always start with 1 dice. This is a Horse Gift. Don’t question
|
||
it, accept it. You never look a horse gift in the mouth.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Add a number of dice equal to your Horse Type modifier (+0, +1,
|
||
or +2) for this kind of Horse Sport.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Add as many dice from your Horse Spirit pool as you are willing
|
||
to gamble, between 0 and your Spirit max.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Once you have assembled your Horse Sport dice pool, then it’s time to
|
||
roll all those dice! Here’s how to interpret the results.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>WHINNY: If any die shows a 1, then you win! Describe a favorable
|
||
outcome. Add 1 die to your Horse Spirit pool.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>NEIGH: If there are no 1s, then you have lost the Horse Sport
|
||
competition. Describe a less than favorable outcome. Also your horse
|
||
loses Spirit: any dice you have gambled from your Horse Spirit pool are
|
||
lost.</p></li>

<p>Give your new horse a Type, a Look, and a Name.</p>
|
||
<h2 id="horse-retirement">HORSE RETIREMENT</h2>
|
||
<p>There may come a time when it is appropriate for your horse to retire
|
||
and go out to pasture. This might be because they have had a long and
|
||
accomplished Horse Sports career. Maybe they had an injury or their
|
||
Spirit is broken by a particularly devastating defeat.</p>
|
||
<p>Nothing mechanically needs to be done for this. Just imagine a
|
||
beautiful grassy pasture for them to graze in. You can visit them any
|
||
time you want, and they will be happy to see you.</p>
