One of the weapons in Battlecry! seems to cause a rules conflict that I'd love to see some clarification on. The Horselord's Longbow (Battlecry p. 128) is a specific +1 striking longbow, and states that "While you are mounted, Strikes with this bow gain a +2 circumstance bonus to damage against unmounted creatures who are smaller than your mount." However, by default longbows (PC p. 280) can't be used while mounted. Is the Horselord's Longbow a specific exception to this rule? If not, the only way I can think of to take advantage of the damage bonus would be to do something like sit on top of a siege engine and fire it, which doesn't match the flavor text at all and seriously stretches the definition of "mounted."
