This human-sized, two-legged lizard has large eyes, brightly colored and patterned scales, and strong-looking legs.
Fastieths are the most common mounts of the halfl ings of the Talenta Plains, chosen and bred for speed. They are too small to carry a human, but can carry a halfling with light gear fairly easily and at a good pace.
Combat
Fastieths are not trained for battle and generally prefer to flee rather than fight, but they can deliver a bite attack if pressed. The bite attack is treated as a secondary attack (–5 penalty on the attack roll) and adds only 1/2 the fastieth’s Strength bonus to damage.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a fastieth is up to 66 pounds; a medium load, 67–133 pounds; and a heavy load, 134–200 pounds. A fastieth can drag 1,000 pounds.
