04-09-07, 03:46 PM Animal Companion Carrying Capacity:

I am a 6th level Halfling Druid (with 1st and 5th racial substitution levels) with a Brixishulty Animal Companion.

Since an animal companions strength continues to increase, what does this do to its carrying capacity if it is used for a mount? For example: I notice that the strength score and carrying capacity in the Players Handbook is a bit off by a few points and not even exact when it comes to the written Carrying Capacity for Horses, Riding Dogs, and my animal companion, a Brixashulty.

Thanks!

04-09-07, 03:53 PM Quadrupeds can carry heavier loads than characters can... multiply the value corresponding to the creature’s Strength score from Table: Carrying Capacity by the appropriate modifier, as follows: Fine x1/4, Diminutive x1/2, Tiny x3/4, Small x1, Medium x1-1/2, Large x3, Huge x6, Gargantuan x12, Colossal x24.

Hope that's what you're looking for. This should be listed in the PHB as well.

I must have overlooked that, per I have never had another steed before.
I will edit his carrying capacities now based on his newest strength.

Thanks!
