Rather than a regular mount, I'd like to reskin something as a reindeer - but I'm having trouble deciding what would be the most appropriate core mount to use as the base.From what I've seen & read, a horse really isn't it. Only the largest reindeer can regularly carry a full-grown human, so they're more often used as pack animals (though they CAN be used as mounts). This initially had me leaning towards a mule base, but then I realized that the high carrying capacity of the mule is really unrealistic (& exactly the reason that reindeer aren't often used as mounts - they have weak backs, & can't carry much more than the weight of an adult human).So, maybe pony? Unfortunately, a pony costs more than I can afford at 1st level - but if it fits better, so be it.</blockquote>
