Carry capacity for NON-standard mounts?

Post by garhkal »

Through many books/novels etc, we often see folks riding non-standard mounts. Such as Riding rams or war-boars for dwarves, or big bucks for elves.

What source would someone use to come up with how much carry capacity those non-standard mounts could have?
Would saddles and such , cost the same for those creatures?

Never broken, he'll be back for more
Proven under fire, over trench and wire
No fear of death, he's unshakeable
Forged for the war, he's unbreakable

I don't have those pdf's. Most of what i HAVE in PDF format, are the stuff for starwars d6, or the Fiend folio...

I was thinking for a Riding ram base its carry capacity on 1/3rd of what a donkey has, 1/2 for a riding bear, 1/4th for a boar.
