    Spelljammer What kind of steed does a giff paladin "Find"?

    I'm playing a giff paladin in a Spelljammer campaign, and just acquired second-level spells. A sturdy giff weighs, what, something like 900 pounds? So what kind of mount does his "Find Steed" summon?

    Worlds of Design: How Big is Your Army?

    Because combatants might stand further apart than stadium seating, and in fewer rows? And because modern stadiums are specifically designed around the swift movement of large numbers of people along multiple routes, unlike narrow and low-quality medieval roads? And, of course, because plenty...
