Wargs in Rolemaster (RMU/RMC/RM2/RMSS)

[EltonJ]

I know Creature Law isn't out yet. Although I have something to ask about wargs.  A warg is a giant wolf (in D&D they are more intelligent) bred by orcs for use as a mount.  I figure they under go the same breeding as horses did when we started breeding horses for horseback riding and for other considerations.

Can I use the giantism adjustment rules to come up with a warg that can be ridden by orcs and for other applications?

This is close to what I did for an encounter that needed it, I took an averaging of wolves and elk and then adapted some skill assumptions for a "trained warhorse".  Worked out easily enough without overthinking the noodle too hard.

For RMU, the quick and easy answer is to use wolf stats and just add +1 size (+2 if you want them to be warhorse sized). Adjust hits accordingly (x1.5 for big, x2 for large). You could also choose to add a level or three if you want them to be even more dangerous.

In the old "creatures of middle earth ICE8005" you can find stats for Wargs compatible with RMSS at least.

In Middle earth they are special wolves possessed by undead spirits without all those nasty undead powers.
