If the horse dies, the knight must succeed a constitution test against the Dragon for it to succeed. If both players survive, the attack succeeds. Otherwise it fails. Maybe its just me - but I find this section unclear; The first three sentences appear to describe all possibilities for the event, so it seems unreasonable (to me) to interrupt the final sentence as referring to some other event out side of the probability space (i.e. with 0 probability). I read the final sentence as referring to cases not covered by the sentence just prior to it. This would mean either both players survive or the attack will fail - clearly not the intent. For the sake of my brain cells, the following makes the situation (hopefully) more clear. ]}} Replace section 4 of Rule 1-99 (The Dragon) with: " 4) The attack succeeds if both players survive, or if only the horse dies and the knight succeeds in a constitution test against the Dragon.
