Emergency Chariot Question!

[Gallowglass 182]

I'm running an RQG session in about 90 minutes. One of PC's will almost certainly use a chariot, and I just realized I don't know how many hit points chariots are supposed to have. What is reasonable??? Do they have armor??? Can't find this in the book.

On page 222 of the core RQG rules there's a textbox on "Dragon Pass Chariots." That says the common Orlanthi chariot has move 11 and 16 hit points. I'm assuming that they act like a shield's hp, when calculating how much the chariot's body protects its occupants relevant hit locations. And, of course, chariots can be armored to some degree; e.g., the chariot in The Rattling Wind scenario has bronze plating on it for an armor rating of 5.

Hope that helps! (if only to give you general ballpark stats to work from.)
