TRANSPORTS

These are some of the vehicles and vessels the adventurers may wish to purchase or travel upon. From wagons to ships, chariots to rafts, a lowly barge to a great galleon, most conveyances typical to medieval worlds can be found here. But the list is not exhaustive, and the DM may adjust quantities and prices as he or she sees fit. Some transports may not even exist on your DM's world, while others may, but only in more exotic locations. The DM will have the final say here. If you don't see what you are looking for, ask the DM to include it. If you find a mistake (something that obviously is not right), email me and I'll try to fix it.
