For the first time in 20 years of running Rifts I finally have a player who is going to play a cyberknight, I intend to allow him to start with a regular horse with the Barding out of New West.... BUT I cannot find the stats for a horse. Where are they, or what are they?

Give him a cyber/bionic horse. Real life horses are amazingly fragile and... in rifts. Slow and very very easily made dead. It's not even really worth looking up the stats. Any md what so ever and you're walkin'. The speed increase for being on a horse is only ever going to matter, if you're being chased by slow people on foot with no ranged weaponry. lol

The Centaur might object to that.
I think that the cyberhorsemen themselves can be Cyberknights, if memory serves.

Yeah... such a waste too. A few evil knight groups might do it though...

I realize that horses are fragile, but that is why I was going to give him barding from new west. 90MD seems like a pretty reasonable mount for 1st level.

I don't have my book open but doesn't it have an AR? I don't think horse barding is full environmental.

*opens the book and looks* Huh! I could have sworn it had an AR of 14 or something because.. well it's barding. Are you going to wrap it all the way around the stomach and the horses privates and butt and everything but it appears your right.
Learn something new every day.
I'd probably house rule that myself but by canon you're correct Mr Smith.

Unless you give an AR to juicer armour, huntsman armour or any other armour that isn't full environ or a full suit in rifts then there is no reason to house rule it here.

You ever actually see horse barding? The range of movement needed for horses is vastly different from humans and you end up with a lot sticking out.

Have you looked at Huntsman and Juicer armour? It barely covers 50% of a person. If those don't have an AR then horse barding shouldn't need it either.

I have seen horse barding, but this actually talks about armouring the legs and such, since it is a light weight fantasy material, i don't worry about it to much.

I figured that cyber Armour only covered the torso, am I misremembering that?

see that's what I get for not actually looking at RUE's portions that I don't use much.
I might make 2 types, one that i torso only with an AR and one that doesn't with no AR.
