And so will your mount, which is able to dealing an additional 6d6 +2 on a cost from greater than 30 toes away.

But with a fly pace of 80 toes? That’s simple to handle.

Brontosaurus

These tall drinks of water are large beasts that we all know do transfer in herds. So why not tame one and use it as a cellular battle platform? Especially since it may well deal devastating stomps and tail slams, to the tune of 5d8 +5 or 6d8 + 5, with a large 20-foot attain. Of course, it’s important to determine the place you’re going to maintain it.

Tyrannosaurus Rex

With a jaw that offers 4d12 + 7 harm, a tail assault that does 3d8 + 7, and the power to carry prey in its mouth, a T. Rex makes for an efficient combatant.

If you possibly can tame one within the first place. And maintain it fed and cared for.
