Title: Punts on Dogs (or other pack animals)
Post by: Modest Grouse on December 23, 2021, 06:18:52 AM
I'm thinking a punt should be too large for a dog to carry, yet they can. Even a bull I can't really imagine carrying a punt.

I believe a punt is a rather small craft, not a full fledged canoe. After all, it seems to be designed to be carried between waterways as needed, and if a human can carry it, so should a bull.
I agree a dog carrying it is questionable, though, even if it is rather light, since it's probably too large to fit onto the dog.

I agree, "a real life dog cannot carry an ancient wooden watercraft". For gameplay reasons though I would prefer no changes to the current setup...

Dog carrying a punt makes about as much sense as player character somehow stowing the same (presumably 2-3 meter long) watercraft into his bag of holding and then running through thick spruce forest while wielding a bow and arrow. Or a bull carrying a 5 meter wooden log.

The game's stowage system is rudimentary, but until (if ever) we get a detailed one featuring frames, cordage, leather straps, bags etc. I don't see reason to touch it. In more detailed system, I suppose the punt could be tied to some kind of light wooden frame secured on the animal/player and is being dragged behind the animal/character.
