Description

If trained for war, these animals can make trip attacks just as wolves do (see the Wolf entry). A riding dog 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 riding dog is up to 100 pounds; a medium load, 101-200 pounds; a heavy load, 201-300 pounds. A riding dog can drag 1,500 pounds.

Skills: *Riding dogs receive a +4 racial bonus to Wilderness Lore checks when tracking by scent.
