[QUOTE="Inconsequenti-AL, post: 3260102, member: 6584"] 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. :o 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. [/sblock] Thanks very much people. :) [/QUOTE]
