Mounts and Related Gear #
A good mount can help you move more quickly through the wilderness. It also helps you to carry the gear that would otherwise slow you down.
Mounts other than those listed here are available throughout the regions of Arcadia, but they are rare and not normally available for purchase. These include flying Mounts (pegasi, griffons, hippogriffs, and similar animals) and even aquatic Mounts (giant sea horses, for example). Acquiring such a mount often means securing an egg and raising the creature yourself, making a bargain with a powerful entity, or negotiating with the mount itself.

Barding: Barding is armour designed to protect an animal’s head, neck, chest, and body. Any type of armour shown on the Armour table can be purchased as Barding. The cost for a medium size mount is two times, while a large mount is four times the equivalent armour made for Humanoids, and it weighs twice as much.
Saddles: A Military saddle braces the rider, helping you keep your seat on an active mount in battle. It gives you advantage on any check you make to remain mounted. An exotic saddle is required for riding any aquatic or flying mount.

Rowed Vessels: Keelboats and rowboats are used on lakes and rivers. If going downstream, add the speed of the current (typically 3 miles per hour) to the speed of the vehicle.
