[QUOTE="Ostler, post: 584285, member: 3822"] One of the players in a new campaign I am starting (tomorrow) wants a riding dog. Having never run a game or played in one where a character had a riding dog this brings up several questions. 1. Does the cost for a riding dog listed in the PHB include a saddle? 2. If not, how much should a saddle for a dog cost? 3. Is is possible to put a military type saddle on a riding dog? Cost? The MM says that riding dogs can be trained for war. This allows them to make trip attacks like a wolf. How much more should a trained riding dog cost? 4. Could a riding dog be an animal companion? Awakened? 5. How much would barding cost for a dog? Or is it possible/worthwhile? I have considered buying Natural 20 Press's [I]In the Saddle[/I] but I'm not sure if it has any info that would help or that deals with riding dogs. Anybody know? The player is really excited about having a riding dog so I want to make it as fun as possible for him. (It's refreshing to have a player excited about something like a riding dog rather than trying to figure out how their character can get ahold Thanks for the help. Ostler [/QUOTE]
