Mounts and Transport

Speed, capacity, and price of common mounts and vehicles. A mounted character uses the mount's Speed for Scramble, Rush, and Sprint.

Your mount is your speed, your range, and your problem when it dies. The War-Horse is worth twice the Riding Horse for a single reason — it doesn’t run when it should.
