Oh sorry, I thought I'd been clearer than I was:

This applies to normal damage as well as knockback damage. So,

> Damage = 6
changes quite a bit. Assuming an unarmored TL3 trooper and riding-horse (from
8.1.4):
AV = 1d10+7 (5 man + 1d10+2 horse)
Speed = 3 (16" on horse)
Damage = 3d10+21 at a full run (wow!)
It is almost unthinkable that anyone would survive this kind of damage, so
it's important to remember all the disadvantages of joustery to give enemies a
chance. Any jousting units should be forced to follow the TurnRate and
Accel/Decel limits, and remember to use the skill penalties for speed.
Part of what's delaying publishing the revision to chapter eight is that
that's where all the new Creatures rules are going to go, and clearer jousting
rules are going to be a part of that.
