I was starting to work on my second LEB character. I wanted to create a mounted paladin that served as part of the Liondrake’s Roar Mercenary.
The problem is I wanted him to be a goliath and there isn't a single mount listed that can carry a goliath and his gear. Even if I were to invest character resources in the level 3 mount slot item to increase a mount's carrying capacity, there is no way I can stay under any mount's normal load, which would result in the mount being constantly slowed. Moving around with a speed of 2 just doesn't really sound like a lot of fun and certainly not what I had in mind when I envisioned the character.
I'd like to see 1 of 2 things done to remedy this.
Proposal A: Ignore carrying capacity for mounts.
Proposal B: Keep the carrying capacity for mounts, but reduce the penalty to carrying a heavy load. Instead of being slowed (speed 2), reduce the mount's speed by 2. This is in addition to other speed penalties such as heavy barding.
