Question
The riding skill shows up in a few professions, as does the vow to own no more than a horse can carry.
Am I missing an explanation of what a horse can carry, or what benefits riding one can give, or where one can be bought? Last edited by natejasper; 04-12-2018 at 08:49 AM. |

This is an acknowledged oversight. The link below should help.

Re: Question
I'd add here that if you are calculating exactly what your mount can carry so you can push right up against it for that Vow, I'd usually rule you are violating it. Vows are self imposed virtues, not legal contracts, and certainly aren't legal contracts in the exact form of the few English words you could fit on a character sheet. The point of "own no more than (something) can carry isn't to stay within the carrying capacity of (something), or for that matter to not own it, just borrow it from your buddies who do. It's to avoid unnecessary luxuries and/or settled ties.
You shouldn't try to max out your carried gear, but conversely if your horse gets hit with a Steal ST spell and hence can't carry it all right now, you don't instantly have to throw some of it away either. And if it happens your are *stronger than a horse*, which isn't entirely out of the question for a setting like Dungeon Fantasy, well, it's probably OK for you to wear armor that would be too heavy for a horse to carry.
