Attending an auction costs 5GP (attendance fee), payable on entry and before any viewing takes place. Adventurers may purchase horses if they consider those available for purchase to be meet their requirements.

For each adventurer attending the auction, roll 1D6. This is the number of horses present and for sale.

For each horse roll 3D6. This is the horses CHR. Adventurers must pay 20GP per attribute point of CHR and 5GP per attribute point of ST and CON (rolled up using 9D6 for ST and 4D6 for CON).

Note: These are the typical rolls made for determining a war horse's attributes, however other types of horses can be purchased at auctions (ponies and draft horses, for example). Other horses may have different modifiers to their attributes (see following) and therefore their costs will vary.

Roll 2D6 and add to the horse's CHR. Roll 2 more dice (2D6) and subtract the result from this total. If the horse is a pony or draft horse, subtract a further 1D6 from the end result -- ponies and draft horses are not as courageous as war horses.

The final result is the horses Courage factor (COU). Note: To re-iterate, Courage is NOT determined until the horse comes face to face with a monster. This means that a character could have spent a lot of money on a rather shy horse.

If this is greater than the monster's CHR, the horse will attack. If it is equal to or less than the monster's CHR, the horse will flee and the rider must make a 2nd level SR on DEX to stay on. If the monster has an MR, as opposed to attributes, multiply the horse's COU by 10 and this will determine if the horse flees or stands.

• CHR = or greater than 3/4 that of the horse
• ST = 1/6 of the horses ST
• DEX = 10 or more (17 or more if using shield)

Horses must have a bridle and saddle unless the rider has CHR over 20 (bare back riding anyone?). War horses, or horses with armour, must have a bridle and saddle, regardless of the rider's CHR. To use a shield while riding means an extra +7 must be added to the DEX requirement.
