[quote="Jard"] Second question: you mention chariots not needing warmounts because they're harnessed. Getting your non-war mount shot can lead to a Very Bad Time(tm). Are there any advantages to shooting at chariot horses besides a potential to reduce speed?
[/quote] When chariots were done for AD&D (in Dragon #81), the rule for a non-warhorse was that it would panic if it took 1/3 or more of its max HP, and the driver would have a 10% chance per level of avoiding a crash. A crash would deal 1d8 damage for every 60 yards of movement (rounded down). If a horse was seriously wounded (>50% HP) or killed, then if the crash was avoided, the chariot would come to a halt until a different horse could be harnessed. It didn't have rules for attacking the chariot directly.
