Howdy playgrounders
*as fair warning this is my first homebrew so don't maul me too visciously for any glaring errors*
so thinking about the arctic settings (not just frostburn) - the obvious means of transport from a real world analogy would be a dogsled. The downside is, RAW, they cost about 1220 to put together, sled with dogs... and thats just cost prohibitive before 3rd level (and even then would pretty much take out all of your WBL allotment). Generous DMs might let you use standard guard dogs to draw it, but that will still clock in at about 220. Not exactly wallet friendly unless the entire party chips in
So for all the loners, drifts, and general nobby-no-mates out there, i present the packsled
PackSled
medium vehicle; Handle Animal +2; Spd drawn (clumsy);
Overall hp 30 (hardness 5); Overall AC 3; Ram 2d6; Face 10
ft. by 5 ft.; Height 5 ft.; Crew 1; Weight 150 lb., Cargo 0.5 ton;
Cost 15 gp.
Drawn across ice or snow, the sled is an almost entirely
exposed structure. 2 riding dogs, (or 4 guard dogs) can pull the sled over
ice or packed snow at a speed of 40 feet, even if it’s fully
loaded. Untracked snow slows the speed by one-half, and
deep snow cuts it to one-quarter
1 passenger may be carried, although their weight must be taken into account in the cargo. Attacks made by passengers incur a -2 penalty due to the confined nature of the packsled
