Inconsequenti-AL
Breaks Games
Got a PC who suggested the idea of a gnome PC, riding around in a cart pulled by a pair of riding dogs. Thought it was an cool idea and a nice visual, so said 'yes'.
Then, he sent me this email:
"What're the rules for charging a cart into someone, and what happens when I inevitable ask to put wheelblades or scythes on it?"
And I realised, I have no damn idea. And additionally, don't know how you handle a cart in combat.
I recall reading somewhere that chariot driving involved Handle Animal checks, but I can't even find that.
Here's a few questions:
Are there proper rules for this that I've missed? WoTC ones preferably...
1) Would you use the DCs for ride checks?
2) Does a chariot provide cover to the rider?
3) What happens if you drive a chariot into someone?
4) Can you fit wheel blades - what would they do?
5) 2 dogs pulling the chariot - how does this complicate things?
My thinking:
[sblock]
1) Yes.
2) Yes, but if the cover causes an attack to miss, then it damages the chariot.
3) Really not sure. Overrun? Trample? Attack as a weapon of some sort, using chariot riders BAB.
4) Add some damage to the above?
5) Not sure.

Thanks very much people.
