Armoured Howdah: An armoured howdah is a large, reinforced box of hardened wood that is placed upon the back of an elephant, or another creature of at least Huge size. A howdah designed for a huge animal, such as an elephant, is large enough to hold three people, one of which must be the elephant’s handler. Those riding in an armoured howdah gain the benefits of cover, meaning they gain a +4 cover bonus to their armour class and a +2 bonus to Reflex saves.
The frame for a howdah for a Huge size creature is made of inch thick wood. It has a Hardness of 5, a Break DC of 20 and 100 hit points.
Howdah for larger creatures are correspondingly larger as well. A howdah for a Gargantuan size creature holds up to five people and weighs twice as much as Large size howdah, while the howdah of a Colossal creature can hold up to 10 riders and weighs four times as much as a
Large howdah.
