There are a number of different methods of travel that players could use. The following list is only a sample of the possible methods that characters might use.

Note: While the following table gives tactical movement rates for mounts, [[Strategic Movement]] is covered on p. 90.

  • Mule/Donkey – Standing around 4’ tall at the shoulder, this 550 lb beast can easily carry up to 250 lbs of cargo.
  • Mature Pony – This mount stands about 4’ tall at the shoulder and weighs around 500 lbs. It can carry up to 180 lbs including the rider.
  • Light Horse – This mount stands about 5’ tall at the shoulder and weighs about 800 lbs. It can carry up to 200 lbs including the rider.
  • Medium Horse – This mount stands about 6’ tall at the shoulder and weighs about 900 lbs. It is capable of carrying up to 300 lbs including the rider.
  • Heavy Horse – The smallest of this type of mount stands 6’ tall at the shoulders and weighs in at 1300 lbs. It can carry up to 400 lbs including its rider.
  • Lesser Warhorse – Trained specifically for combat, this mount does not require the rider to make skill rolls to control the mount during combat. That means that the rider will not have to devote any of his activity each round to controlling it. Lesser Warhorses stand around 6’ at the shoulder and weigh about 950 lbs. They are capable of carrying up to 350 lbs including the rider.
  • Riding Wolf – This special breed of Wolf is raised specifically by the smaller races as mounts. It stands around 3’ tall at the shoulders and weighs around 300 lbs. It can carry up to 140 lbs including the rider. Like Warhorses, these mounts do not require the rider to make Riding rolls when in combat.
  • Horse-cart – This is a 6’ long, 2 wheeled cart that is pulled by a horse or other draft animal. It can easily be used to haul up to 800lbs of cargo, including anybody riding on the cart. It allows the animal pulling it to be able to haul double what it can normally carry, up to the maximum allowed by the cart.
  • Wagon – This is a sturdy 4 wheeled vehicle pulled by one or two animals. It can hold up to a maximum of 1200 lbs of cargo. It allows the animal pulling it to be able to haul double what it can normally carry (quadruple, if pulled by 2 animals), up to the maximum allowed by the cart.
  • Boats & Ships – Boats are small vessels that stick to shallow coastal waters, rivers and lakes. Ships are larger and capable of traveling the open seas.
    • Small Boat – This is about 10’ in length and weighs about 200 lbs. It is capable of holding up to 1000 lbs.
    • Medium Boat – This is about 20’ in length and weighs about 800 lbs. It is capable of holding up to 4000 lbs.
    • Large Boat – This is about 30’ in length and weighs about 2000 lbs. It is capable of holding up to 7000 lbs.
  • Ship Passage – There are two main types of ship passage. The first is ferry service, going from point A to point B, such as from a city to a small island a few miles off shore. This usually costs 1 bp + an additional 2 cp per mile that the passenger is to be ferried. The second type of passage is as a passenger upon a sea-going vessel. The cost for this type of passage is normally 5 bp + an additional 1 bp per mile to be traveled.
