The movement rate modifier is the adjustment applied to the base movement rate for that type of horse. A
broken-down light war horse would have a movement rate of 18, 75% of the normal
24. A high-spirited light war horse would have a movement rate of 32,
one-third more than normal. Fractions should
be rounded down.
The carrying capacity modifier is the percentage of the base weight the horse can carry. A nag can only carry
50% as much as a normal horse of the same type, while a charger can carry
one-third more than normal. Again, fractions should be rounded down.
The cost modifier gives a general idea of the markup that should be applied to the horse. Poor
quality horses do not have negative modifiers, since merchants will always try
to get at least the average price for a horse. In this case, it is the job of
the player to talk down the price.
