That means the oprions are1-horse cart is 200 lbs. with a capacity of 2,500 lbs.1-horse sled is 300 lbs. with a capacity of 2,400 lbs. for 5 gold more so why would you ever want one.2-horse wagon is 400 lbs. with a capacity of 5,000 lbs.2-horse chariot is 100 lbs. with a capacity of 5,300 lbs. for some reason, though I can’t imagine how.4-horse carriage is 600 lbs. with s capacity of 10,200 lbs.And this is all assuming fixed numbers of animals that aren’t actually specified in the rules. How many horses can a carriage theoretically accomodate? If I want to save Christmas and hook eight reindeer up to my sled (let’s say that’s comparable carrying capacity to a mule?), will it actually bare the weight of the 16,500 lbs. of presents they can move, or will the tobagon collapse under all that? Can I hitch a single elephant to my wagon and load it up with 6,200 pounds?Like, the majority of the time, this really doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, I’ll have NPC traders use what ever vehicles and beasts of burden feel right for them. But clearly there’s a point where the rules as written break down, and I wondered if anyone had suggestions for figuring out the theoretical maximum weight the sample vehicles could carry. I’ve gotten a few vague suggestions, but nothing concrete so far.</blockquote>
