[QUOTE="lkwpeter, post: 6995515, member: 6804713"] I think that is not correct. The PHB states the following on page 181: [I] "Mounts and Vehicles. For short spans of time (up to an hour), many animaIs move much faster than humanoids. A mounted character can ride at a gallop for about an hour, covering twice the usual distance for a fast pace."[/I] That means: a) You can only gallop for one hour b) You gain the benefit of twice the distance of "fast pace" - BUT: You pick that from the table shown on page 182 that states "4 miles". So you can gallop for a total of 8 miles. I am actually sharing your opinion, Jester David. But I wanted to know what RAW intends. [B]Correct me, if I am still wrong. But I think RAW states the following points: [/B] 1.) You do not travel faster while mounted. 2.) You can only gallop for one hour per day (covering twice the usual distance for a fast pace). 3.) There is no need of a rest after galloping. And there is no rule saying you need to continue travelling at "slow" or "normal" pace. A horse simply can't gallop anymore for that day. 4.) If you travel more than 8 hours, the traveler has to make a check for exhaustion - regardless of whether he is riding a mount or walking. (DM might also ask for a check for the mount.) [HR][/HR] [B]EDIT:[/B] Here is the table of the PHB 182.
