Travois, Horse

Travois is a pair of long poles tied to the back of a horse or dog, and on rare occasions humans, that are dragged on the ground after them. There is a rope or canvas across the poles and goods are piled onto it. The poles can be tent poles if the party has a tent. Anything loaded on the travois (including people) only counts as 1/3 of its weight against carrying capacity. Anyone hauling a travois moves as if heavily encumbered, regardless of how much weight is actually being pulled. Stats: cost 20 gp • dimensions 16' x 3' • weight 50 lbs • cargo 400 lb • movement 40' (10') • hardness/HP 4 / 8. Notes: Length x width includes hitched horses or mules. See the Basic Fantasy RPG Core Rules for explanations of crew, cargo, movement, hardness, and HP.
