[QUOTE="Paul Farquhar, post: 9664407, member: 6906155"] Just because it's bigger than a rowboat doesn't mean its tougher. It's a civilian vehicle built of light wood. If you have ever seen a real rowboat and a real stagecoach, the boat is much thicker and more rugged. As per object rules, a cart (dimensions not specified) would have at most 27 hp. Note that there is a tendency to exaggerate the size of vehicles to accommodate D&D's 5ft. grid. For other examples, see the TSSoS ship (Sea Ghost), or any Eberron rail carriage. The vehicle in your art appears to be 20 ft long, including the tailfin, and less than 6 ft. wide. 24 passengers seems far too many, its a taxi, not a bus. The deck plan suggests it is designed to carry 8 passengers and 1 driver. You might squeeze in 2 extra passengers at a pinch. I would be inclined to look to the flying carpet rules and specify an 800 lb weight limit. As per KB, the driver's control medallion requires attunement. For a bastion, there would be an NPC chauffeur to drive and maintain it. Making him a 20th level rogue called Parker is optional. [/QUOTE]
