"I don't understand," Reynold said, frowning at the vampire-knight. "If I don't commit, if I don't put every bit of myself into the strike, I'm just going to unseat myself. How am I supposed to land a decisive blow if I don't come forward as I strike?"
"This is the difference between fighting mounted knights and fighting Eldritch men with four legs and a body that weighs more than a bull," Thane said. "Your instinct is to aim for advantage in unhorsing a man because once an armored knight is on the ground and not astride his horse, he's easier to ride down," Thane explained.
"You get away with it against the Swift Hooves because they're lightly armored," Thane said. "Your commitment is the advantage that's let you survive years of fighting Lord Dirar's raiders."
