When attacking from a horse the chance of blocking should be lowered by like 50-75% because: 1) You attack from above, making it a lot harder to block proper. 2) There is way more power in it since you can use gravity aswell, making it smash more easy trough any defences which isn't like a proper shield. 3) This would cover a bit the fact that Cavalary isn't even close to being as good as in the books or films, where they could simply ride trough enemy lines simpy crushing any opponent under the feets of the horses. Weapons like spears and longspears (maybe poleaxes aswell, not sure) should ignore or reduce the chance by like 95% of blocking it. Because how do you want to block a long thin knife ontop of a long wooden stick with a sword, this is possible (you have to be really skilled you know) but REALLY hard. Shields would ignore this multiplier (not the shields that currently in the mod) since you just put a piece of wood between you and the weapon.
