Combat
Pegasi attack with their sharp hooves and powerful bite. Mated
pairs and herds attack as a team, fighting to the death to defend
their eggs and young, which fetch a handsome price in many
civilized areas.
Spell-Like Abilities: Pegasi can detect good and detect evil
at will within a 60-yard radius, as the spells cast by a
5th-level sorcerer.
Skills: Pegasi receive a +4 racial bonus to Listen and Spot
checks.
Training a Pegasus
Pegasus eggs are worth 2,000 gp each on the open market, while
young are worth 3,000 gp per head. Pegasi mature at the same rate
as horses. Professional trainers charge 1,000 gp to rear or train
a pegasus, which serves its master with absolute faithfulness
for life.
Training a pegasus requires a successful Handle Animal check
(DC 22 for a young creature, DC 29 for an adult) and that the
creature be willing. Trainers can reduce the DC by 5 and the
training time by half by using a magic bridle enchanted for the
purpose. A pegasus can fight while carrying a rider, but the
rider cannot also attack unless he or she succeeds at a Ride
check.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a pegasus is up to 300
pounds; a medium load, 301-600 pounds; and a heavy load, 601-900
pounds.
