Heavy War Horse (Mount)

• Cost: 900 gp
• Weight: 1,900 lbs.

This solid horse has shaggy fetlocks, and is taller and more stockily built than a light horse (think Clydesdale). Horses make excellent mounts and are widely used by humanoids for both riding, as beasts of burden, or as draft animals to pull vehicles such as wagons or carriages.

A (mount) grants its rider the following bonuses:

Mounted CR: 5

Size: Large (can carry up to sized-medium riders)

Move Types and Speed: Walk 60 ft.

Bonus Damage: +2 bonus to damage with all of the rider's melee attacks made while riding.

Carrying Capacity: 1,000 lbs.

Some mounts offer the possibility of a special ability granted to their riders, but the ability must first be unlocked by advancing the mount to a higher CR (see Advancing a Mount's CR for details). Instead of applying the point(s) of CR toward increased move speed or additional bonus damage, the point(s) of CR is applied toward unlocking the special ability.

Mounts may only ever unlock a single special ability, even if more than one is listed as available. Unless specifically stated otherwise, no special ability may be purchased more than once.
