D&D 5E Tomb of Annihilation mounts

[machineelf]

That is, a Quetzalcoatlus would have a carrying capacity of 15x15 (for Strength) x4 (for Huge) x5 (quadruped) = 5400 punds on the ground

Ooh ... that's a lot of Oreo's.

Thanks

I worked out the dinos' carrying capacities before starting my own ToA campaign:

Ankylosaurus: 1,140 lbs
Deinonychus: 225 lbs
Hadrosaurus: 450 lbs
Triceratops: 1,320 lbs

Perfect! You've done the work I was about to have to do. Thank you!

No worries! Glad I could help.

I think @pukunui has me on his block list - why would he otherwise repost what I just posted.

Note also that his numbers significantly nerf larger creatures (because 5E has done away with quadruped bonuses).

If a creature that should easily weigh (and eat) ten times as much can't even carry three times as much cargo, I know I would much rather have three smaller ones than a single Huge one.

The easy antidote to this is to use d20 rules, as I did.

Quadrupeds can carry heavier loads than characters can.

He didn't. If you check, you'll see the numbers are different.

It looks like the ones he posted are the correct ones for 5e, whereas the ones in your post are the 3.5e ones.

If the OP regards this as a major issue as you do, then I'm sure the figures you gave will be very useful.

Now, the true answer? Find a way to get a Quetzalcoatlus and have a flying mount the height of a giraffe

I remember you! You're the Quetzalcoutlus "Murder-storks" guy from the Let's Read Volo's thread!

 

[CapnZapp]

He didn't. If you check, you'll see the numbers are different.

I already know this and why.

If you had actually read my post you wouldn't write that. You would have realized I incorporated my clear suggestion to use the quadruped factor from d20.

I even gave a link.

Apart from not using that, our figures are identical since we use identical formulas.

Unlike him, you don't even have the excuse you didn't read my post.

Then . . . then why did you claim pkunui had reposted what you had posted? Annd why make the assertion that he had blocked you?

That link isn't the same as the way that you suggested doing it though. You're suggesting the quadrupedal multiplier is size-based and used in addition to a size multiplier rather than a flat x1.5.

And again, if you knew that pkunui had used a different method than you, why claim that he was reposting your work?

Apart from not using that, our figures are identical since we use identical formulas.

Unlike him, you don't even have the excuse you didn't read my post.

The posts are saying two different things! They're not the same! One is not a repost of the other!

Arrgh!

 

[CapnZapp]

We were using the exact same calculation, with my clearly indicated exception.

It is true after all: you CAN'T have two Capn's on the same ship (or thread).
