[QUOTE="Old Gumphrey, post: 4451778, member: 12872"] Yeah, I pretty much know that a real Earth horse can't strap on 720 lbs. and haul balls for eight hours. I just offered a quick fix to get D&D horses to be able to carry human riders. Honestly, half that figure should be reasonable if you get a really beefy horse. Yes, rage drakes are cooler mounts for dragonborn than horses. No, they cannot carry dragonborn fighters with 20 str @ 320+ lbs. bodyweight in the RAW. Yes, this is stupid. No, it's not for balance reasons. Yes, it's because designers didn't pay much attention to something this extraneous. Yes, I will be changing it. And FYI I gave our dragonborn pally a genetic freak Warhorse. It's 24 hands tall and weighs about 2600 lbs with a Str score of WTF. It eats like 50 lbs of oats a day and then craps pure lightning.
