On your travels, you may need to transport goods in large quantities—carting gold from a dragon’s lair, shipping ore across the skies, moving grain from one village to another. For this, you’ll need transport vehicles and containers.
Transport Animals
Creatures can carry items for you if wearing a saddlebag.

Vehicles
Vehicle capacity is measured in six scales of spacing that describe the number of inventory slots available to carry creatures and cargo.
Vehicle (Land) Capacity Table

|---|---|---|---|
| Carriage, Horse | Huge | 180 | 180 |
| Cart (Hand) | Medium | 20 | 20 |
| Cart (Horse) | Large | 60 | 60 |

Vehicle (Water) Capacity Table
| Vehicle (Water) | Size | Slots | Bulk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galley | Gargantuan | 4,860 | 4,860 |

Storage Containers
You may need to transport goods within storage
containers (chests, crates, barrels, etc.) for security or convenience. A storage container has a number of
inventory slots equal to its bulk rating. See the Item Bulk List for examples.
Nested Containers
You can store containers within containers, but a nested container must be at least one size category smaller than its parent.
Fiction First
Use the vehicle capacities listed here as a guide, but be mindful of the fiction. A galley may have 4,860 inventory slots, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it can support the weight of 30 fucking dragons.
If a vehicle is being put under duress by cargo or passengers, an appropriate penalty to its inventory capacity may apply (or the vehicle may be at harm’s risk).
