Carts && wagons
are useful for transporting equipment (and possibly characters)
over long distances, enabling a party
to
carry much more gear than the characters
could pile on their
backs. Chariots are used mainly for the
transportation of characters,
but the larger ones can also haul equipment.

Movement rates given
in this table (again expressed in miles
per half-day) are self-explanatory. Note,
however, that none of
the vehicles mentioned can be taken into
very
rugged terrain --
or, if they are, progress will be so slow
as to make large-scale
movement effectively negligible. Also,
the given movement rates
assume that the vehicle is on flat, featureless
ground or on a path
or roadway; if this is not the case, treat
the terrain as one category
more rugged than it actually is. For instance,
a lightly forested
area is considered normal terrain for
a character on foot or a character
mounted on a horse -- but if that AREA
does not contain a
path smooth enough and wide enough to
accomodate a vehicle,
it is considered rugged terrain for the
purposes of determining
the vehicle's movement rate.
