From the book
Mounted Combat II is advanced training meant for genuine cavalry warriors. It grants proficiency with the lance and a +2 bonus to hit when fighting from the saddle of any mount.
The skill also covers breaking in and training any beast or monster suitable for riding, following the method used by the performing skill Animal Training. Mounted Combat I is a prerequisite. The skill costs 1,000 XP and requires 1-3 months of training; characters whose profession does not grant it need a qualified teacher.
