Exotic Creatures in ACKS II Markets

"Can I buy a bear mount?"

"How about a trained giant spider?”

"What kind of trained beasts are available in the markets of Cyfaraun?”

These questions seem to arise naturally out of ACKS II, especially with its incredibly detailed monster statistics, including training time, cost, roles and ecology. But the availability of exotic animals in markets, like other things not included in the general equipment list, is left to the Judge to figure out.

I put together the house-rule below as a tool for judges to answer that question in a satisfying and consistent way.
