[QUOTE="LiquidBlue, post: 3195429, member: 40911"] [b]Verrick goes shopping[/b] I am making out a shopping list for Verrick, and a lot of it depends on his ability to carry things. I am thinking that he could buy a pack dog or two. A guard dog costs 25 gp. According to the Handle Animal skill an animal trained to guard knows the tricks attack, defend, guard, and down. I figure that a pack dog would be a dog with the ride package, that is it has been trained to know the tricks come, heel, and stay. Pack saddles weigh 15 pounds, but these are generally for large or medium creatures. The dog is a small creature. Thus I wonder if the pack saddle designed for a dog might weigh less. Perhaps the best compromise would be an exotic pack saddle that weighs 1/4 as much as a regularly sized saddle, which would put the saddle at 5lbs. Of course that leaves the matter of feeding the dogs. I am not sure what their daily requirements might be or how much they would cost. Maybe they could eat trail rations sized for a small creature. So I wonder if these sounds about right: A pack dog costs 25gp and knows the tricks come, heel, and stay. A pack saddle costs either 5gp or 15gp and weighs 5lbs. Absent other sources of food the dogs eat a single small trail ration per day. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
