Jennet

A small, hot-tempered pony useful for war, and sometimes riding. Mares lack Combat Reflexes and Bad Temper (15), and make good riding ponies. Jennets weigh about 730 pounds.

Offense

Ground Move 8/16

Bite (10) 1d-1 crushing. Reach C.
Kick (8) 1d+1 crushing. Reach C-1.
Trample (9) 1d+2 crushing. Only affects prone SM 0 targets or any target of SM -1 smaller. Counts as large area attack (p. B00) against SM -2 targets.
Didn’t See You There! Anytime the jennet realigns its body with its head, and SM 0 or smaller creatures in the way are shoved. They may defend normally. Success means they duck or dodge around the jennet, but failure moves them with the jennet however far is necessary for the realignment to take place. If this results in him getting knocked down, he must Dodge at -3 to avoid also being trampled for 1d-2 crushing damage as large area injury!

A healthy jennet is worth $30,000, and twice that once blooded in battle. Food costs $4 and weighs 16 lbs. per day, and a professional groom is required for war ponies ($90 per day), but any stable hand can tend a jennet otherwise ($30 per day). Stabling in Town usually costs $15 per day for war ponies but only $5 otherwise.
