Message: <blockquote data-quote="Caliban" data-source="post: 384021" data-attributes="member: 284">Who has wild horses sitting around for sale?   You only see them in the city after they have been trained, and most of them are raised from birth and are never really "wild" in the first place. Relatively few areas actually go out and capture wild horses.   Medieval europe is not the old west.    If you want to take the time and money to go out to one of the areas where they do try to capture wild horses, and try to capture some yourself, go for it. I guarantee that if I'm the DM, no one would be willing to sell them to you after they hear about what you are doing. i) A good aligned trainer will refuse.   ii) the horse will mysteriously crit and kill you.  Happy now? At 400 gp per horse, and the warhorse has  good chance of kicking your ass up until your 4th level or so.    Be my guest.  And if you have the animal restrained or caged in such a way that it cannot attack you back, then no challenge, and no XP. There are much more effective ways of gaining XP, and I'm pretty sure that the local aristocrats and/or knighthoods will be pretty unhappy with your for slaughtering trained warmounts.   There's probably even a law against it.  In medievel europe the penalty for killing a knight's horse was worse than the penalty for killing a peasant.   The situation may not be as extreme as that in a normal D&D world, but there would be reprecussions. In any case, if you want to just sit there and generate XP like that, you don't really need a DM do you?     Sounds more like accounting than roleplaying, but whatever works for you.All I can say is that it flat will not work in any game I'm running, so there's really no need for me to make a specific ruling, other than: No XP for you.</blockquote>
