[PnP] Weight Challenged...

[Burton Choinski]

I'm reminded of the "Asterix & Cleopatra" movie quote...

"They're all wizards!"

Shoot, even my player's "wizards" are pretty beefy.  Don't have any  
dragon/humans (thank Metatron!)

 From the online sites I can find, the rule of thumb seems to be 20%  
weight (load plus tack).  No indication if this is basic portage (no  
change to travel speed) or total limit (speed at 10%).  If we go with  
the portage abilities in Book 1, a War IV at 320# carry with 20%  
would be 1600#, about the top size for a huge honking horse.  Thus,  
this 20% seems to be raw portage.
