Carts, Carriages, and Wagons
It's one of the most interesting things about fantasy RPG's when travelling from place to place it gets to a point where the players will start to use wagons. There's only so much PC's want to carry and when it comes to copious amounts of treasure a wagon seems like the easiest option. Additionally some PC's don't have the strength to carry much or the constitution to walk for long periods or the ability to ride on an animal. A wagon makes sense right?
In light of this it seems weird that in Pathfinder 2nd edition that wagons seem to be have left out of the equipment lists. I'm sure this is something that will be fixed in the future but until that happens here's the equipment from 1st edition grandfathered into 2nd edition. I hope you like it and have fun with your adventures with wagons.
