Might want to provide full stat blocks for these dogs instead. There are two dog entries in the MM, one for a normal dog, and the other for a riding dog. The riding dog has +1 hit dice and +2 strength compared to the normal one. This could cause some confusion. --Msallen 11:47, 26 May 2009 (EDT)
Added more clarification, but I don't want to start putting up creatures until we have a template. --Detarame
Then lets make a template? --Msallen 17:41, 26 May 2009 (EDT)
I thought about these and I'm a little on the fence about these is that +1 HD is pretty big. It makes a riding dog more physically powerful than a light warhorse, which seems a little dramatic. What do you think of these bonuses?
- Riding: MM riding dog +2 str, +2 con, +10 speed
- Draft: MM riding dog +2 str, +4 con, endurance (or +4 str and no endurance?)
- Tracking: MM normal dog +4 wisdom, +2 int, +6 survival (gives them +8 extra survival for tracking, +2 to spot and listen, and 6th level divine spells)
