[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 5549241, member: 9026"] ... You're getting a mount for a 20 foot long snake-demon lady? Hmm, well even though I think thats silly, lets figure out the math.. 4000 pound Large creature. The mount would have to be huge (One size category above the rider), and most mounts are quadrupeds.. So normal carrying capacity would be X6(Huge Quadruped), meaning for 4000 pounds to be a light load, it would require a Strength score of 32 (Light load: 4,152) So if the DM doesn't decide to lower the weight, you would require a Huge Quadruped with 32 Strength for a mount. If your weight were halved to 2000, you would require a huge quadruped with a strength of 27(Light load: 2076). At 1200 pounds (Your suggestion, though I think it's rediculously underweight. :p ) your mount would need a strength of 23. Not sure what you were planning on 'summoning' as a mount, but a quick gander through the MM got me the following creatures that fit your criterea (Huge quadruped) Behir: Str 26(Technically not a quadruped though, more of a centipede) Bulette: Str 27 Retriever: Str 31 Dinos: Elasmosaurus(Str 26), Triceratops(Str30), Hydra: Str 23 Cauchemar Nightmare: Str 31 Giant Crocodile: Str 27 Elephant: Str 30 Various Dragons and Huge Insects Alternatively a Gargantuan creature such as Roc, Purple Worm, or older dragons could carry you at any of the listed weights with ease. My biggest question is how you're planning on long-term summoning and control of one of these creatures as a mount.. ** Also, PLEASE delete that picture, I ask as a personal favour, I can't even scroll past it to read posts without becoming naseous. Normally I have no problem with overweight people, but that picture is revolting, and I fail to see how it in any way helps the discussion. [/QUOTE]
