[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3260155, member: 39593"] There are rules in the 3.0 Arms & Equipment Guide 1.) The DC's in A&EG are based on handle animal, they seem about right. 2.) These rules are also in A&EG, a chariot would give half-cover and take damage if it causes a miss. 3.) A&EG treats it as a Ram attack which does damage based on vehicle size and weight (for your example should be 3d6) and the vehicle takes damage in return when it rams but as long as you're running down creatures rather than hitting objects it's much less. 4.) This wasn't covered in A&EG but I'd say call it an area effect in the 5ft square on either side of the chariot for the appropriate damage with a reflex save to avoid. 5.) Strictly speaking by RAW they each need a five-foot space. A&EG handles it by having the creatures take up two spaces & the chariot can follow either one of the animals. (Personally given my own experience with the closest real world equivalent of a medium wardog the St. Bernard & Mastiff, which includes using them to pull a broken down compact station wagon) I'd rule that both could fit into a single 5ft wide space since they'll be restricted by the maneuverability of the chariot anyway.
