greetings playgrounders, for starters, I suck at math, so I'm making sure I'm understanding my numbers correctly here
I plan to play a knight in an upcoming game, and at somepoint, maaaaaaaaaaaaay look into having a Wyvern as a mountian..
now, assuming a basic str 19 wyvern
can he lift me and all my gear?
(charactersheet, spoilered for length)
I aplogize for the crazy amounts of text, the DM let me do it on my own and I wanted him to be able to see where I got all my numbers from

so, given all my crap (armour, weapons, miscellanous crap)
can my (future, hopefully) mount carry me?
using mythweavers
I put in 19 str and got
light load: 116
medium load: 233
heavy load: 350
over head: 350
off ground: 700
push/drag: 1750
so I am curious... 1) which of these numbers determine my mounts ability to carry me
2) as long as the rider is less than the 'max' (heavy) load, can the mount carry it?
3) where are the rules for this in the DMG or whatever book its in, because I cannot seem to find it:smallfrown:
and 4) obviously: can the thing even carry me into battle? (preferably with no encumberance penalties
thanks in advance
