Remember that the fact they can ride something doesn't necessarily mean that that animal is meant to be ridden.

You could be riding even a hyena, but if the animal itself is not suited to being a mount, it would be always be worse in comparison.

Apart from that, compare the horse sheet with a bear and a Wolf, in terms of differences ( and eventually balance ).

The problem occures when you imply that any animal was "ment" to do be ridden. Humanity has "ridden" a huge number of animals, elephants, ostriches, zebra, dolphins, other people and we find the ones that are the easiest to break and make them into our transportation. Horses are fundamentally a herd animal that is adapted to their particular region and adapted to running from predators. People changed how we viewed them when we decided to tame them and shape them to our purposes.

In pathfinder only certain animals have the mount trait. However in reality horses, camels, mules, and other such animals have to go thru a training process called "breaking" or "busting" to get them to accept a rider and the accompanying equipment. So why are there no rules for training animal companions to be mounts? Plus since they look favorably upon their companion it should also be easier to do than a wild animal.

If the bulk of the creature is the only thing that matters when carrying them, why would you factor in their total bulk when dragging them?

I was wondering what it ment by my payment method is expiring tomorrow? I did correct the payment issue?

Hello Derblade,

It looks like this order became stuck. I have pried it loose and am letting the warehouse know so they can get it on its way. Our mail pickups have all already happened today so the order will likely go out on Tuesday.

Thanks for the quick response and the good news.

I am inquiring about the status of my order as i haven't heard anything about it beyond it being pending.

Thank you for your quick response. The pdf will help as well thank you. I was just getting worried because it had almost three weeks since I had placed the order.

I was curious about what was taking so long to fill my order. I was hoping to get the carrion hill module to run my group through on Halloween. I hope to hear back soon, thanks.
