Think MR17 is too high for mules pulling a loaded wagon or carrying packs. Would put it in the 10-12 range.<br>As to the elementals, neither is the best choice for the task. Need to deals with Gnomes for earth moving and construction. Unless the offer was something spectacular, would probably insult a Son of Gaea. As to living earth, they aren't geared for such at all. Call them to kill something or destroy, I'd say.<br><br><br>> From: bchoinski@comcast.net<br>> To: pnp@abroere.xs4all.nl<br>> Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:07:43 -0500<br>> Subject: [PnP] A digging we go!<br>> <br>> I'm currently involved with revamping my Construction rules (my <br>> Legends players are starting to build up their inn and will eventually <br>> be constructing their keep off in the western mountains.<br>> <br>> Playing around with some assumptions (Drover pay 15CC/month, 5 mule <br>> team carrying drover and 920# of material, MR17 for team, need to save <br>> for replacements costs of each mule every 2 years, 3CC for 60FP of <br>> grain and forage, mules need 7FP each) one finds that transport is <br>> friggen expensive.
