Carpentom / Biga
Please see past my terrible drawing - I haven't put pen to paper in years!
Background:
The Celts were thought to use the
carpentom as a mode of transport, often depicted as riding into battle with one. They provided an easier mode of transport, and also made transport smoother if a free-hanging axel was left suspended by some rope from the platform.
Specifics:
My drawing is just the general concept - it can be spruced up however you'd like and have different types and designs for its price/rarity. Here are some
examples of tiers I thought of:
Villager's Carpentom (shown in my poor attempt of a drawing)
Materials: Wood and wicker.
Damage: None. Horses are for transportation only.
Capacity: 1 person.
Extras: None. The ride is uncomfortable. 50% extra speed. Takes little damage for you.
Carpentom of Mystery
Materials: Wood and iron.
Damage: None. Nightmare horses (the ones from Lir's Reach) have a small proc chance and grant the skill below.
Capacity: Carpentoms often accommodated for two people, therefore max capacity is 2. All effects apply to the second passenger, however damage does not double.
Extras: Nightmare horses shroud the player(s) in a mysterious force that hides the player(s) from enemies and therefore have a 30% camo. 70% extra speed. Takes some damage for you.
Regal Carpentom of Fire
Materials: Golden & Quilted.
Damage: Dragons or good horses/another animal can pull this carpentom, which can deal damage regularly and also have a proc chance.
Capacity: Carpentoms often accommodated for two people, therefore max capacity is 2. All effects apply to the second passenger, however damage does not double.
Extras: Regenerates 50 health and energy per tick to anyone on it, as they are resting instead of using their legs! 100% extra speed. Takes significant damage for you.
When on these mounts, you cannot fight with your weapons. The only damage dealt is from the mount, if available.
If you can't be bothered for horses etc, just say "an unknown force pulls this carpentom"
