If multiple animals pull the same vehicle, they add their capacities together. I like that; it's simple, it's easy to use, and it's consistent with the carrying capacity rules (5x capacity being the amount a creature can drag). But, the problem I'm running into is that there are no guidelines for how much weight a vehicle can hold. Sure, one could say that the vehicle's carrying capacity is irrelevant, all that matters is if the animal can pull it all or not. Except, a cart (for example) weighs less than a wagon. So by RAW, you can technically carry more in a wagon than a cart, since the wagon itself weighs less and therefore takes up less of the animal's carrying capacity. So why would anyone ever use a wagon over a cart? It costs more, and technically can't carry as much.Are there maybe rules on this from an earlier edition I could borrow? Or does anyone have a house rule on vehicle carrying capacities that has worked in there games? Does anyone have untested suggestions for how to handle this? Much appreciated if so.</blockquote>
