JavaApp Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) 'lo all, Anyone recall how ENC for a mount works? If it is the same as a human's, then the average ENC for the mounts (mule/horse) is 19-20. I vaguely recall somewhere there being a rule that allows a horse to carry more, but I don't know what edition that rule appears in, or even if it exists at all. Additionally, does the SIZ of a rider count as ENC for the mount? Anyone remember?

soltakss Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 The Bestiary says that giant wasps can carry a rider of up to their STR in SIZ, so a STR 10 wasp can carry a SIZ 10 rider. It also says that riding horses can carry a rider and gear for a day. Then says that a horse might not be able to carry a heavy rider. So, we could assume that a steed can carry its STR in SIZ. RQ2 had 1 SIZ= 5 ENC, RQ3 had 1 SIZ = 3 ENC, RQG has a KG equivalency table but doesn't say how many KGs someone can carry. another issue with editing, I think. If you say 6 ENC = 1 SIZ, then a SIZ 12 rider with 18 ENC of gear is effectively a SIZ 15 rider, so needs a steed with STR 15 to be able to carry them. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

Shiningbrow Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Carrying mounts is a silly idea. And they're usually far too heavy! It would be much better to have the mount carry you and all your gear! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zit Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I think that ENC rules are ok for bipedals, but that we could apply some multipliers for others (<1 for flying creatures, >1 for 4- or more legged creatures).
