[QUOTE="Thomas Hobbes, post: 1317039, member: 8623"] You are correct; my expierience with camels consists of watching "Lawrence of Arabia" (hut hut hut!). But statistically speaking, they lose two hoofs, their bite counts as a "secondary" weapon, are slower, and they gain that nifty ability not to die of thirst. :) I believe that culturally in desert areas, camels were for everyday use and horses for war (although some people rode camels into battle and vice versa, although less so). So price-wise, 60 gp (vs. 75 for a light horse) sounds OK to me; Pheonix may disagree :). It makes sense to me that they'd charge less for an Arabian than a dromedary. Which it makes it not all that well rounded. :eek: Between no [i]endure elements[/i], no healing, and 22 point buy, the alternates would do well to have their characters ready. :p [/QUOTE]
